Hi, 60 gallon cube

[treeinacube]

Hello,
I have a 60 gallon 24x24x24 cube mixed reef with a separate 36 gallon display for only 3 corals.

below is the picture so you guys get the idea.

the tank is about 3 years old, 1 year of this passed with fighting with hair algae.
I moved the 1.5 years ago and that may have been the main reason for the bloom and than it got out of control.
last 4-5 months tank has been algae free, when i had the algae issue I did not add any corals so i recently started to put new corals in.

controller:apex controller,
lights: 2 kessil 150A ocean blue led lights (last 2 months) before that I had 6x24 T5's. above the 36 gallon I have DIY 3w led lights.
filtration:bio pallet and GFO reactors and once a month carbon for 2 hours, protein skimmer.

I live in Gurnee,IL and love LPS corals,

thanks,
Kaya

what are those in the bottom small tiles

 

[treeinacube]

yes, they are frag squares,
I used to have sand but it turned into a detrius trap, so ended up removing it.
It is kind of automatic fragging.
It is east to clean the bottom from built up detrius as well.
