My JBJ Nano cube 12DX

My newest purchase! In anticipation of my new project. I'm really going to need this bad boy for what I should be picking up next week! It's a 6 stage unit btw. Got it all hooked up and it's working flawlessly!

Haven't updated this in FOREVER! The tank looks 100% different now and has my new little buddy Franklin jr living in there...he is an ugly little hawaii frogfish! I'll update with pics just as soon as he will let me take a pic of him!

Most of the bigger corals and all of the fish that were in this tank are now in my 90G.
 
Quick update for this build. Since my last major update I pulled out all the large corals and all the fish and and inverts. I took out about 5lbs of liverock and completely re-did the aquascape to be frogfish friendly. Its all very open with bridges, caves, trenches etc...I'm very happy with the way it came out.

For the Future of this tank I plan to only keep only particularly cool corals in here and also I plan to keep it to smaller corals that will encrust on the rock rather than grow out into the water space.

Currently I have Franklin jr. living in the tank. He is an ugly little brown frogfish from Hawaii! He was at MCF for about three months and for one of those he was thought to be dead! I was fairly certain that nobody was ever going to take him home and I felt bad for the little guy so I took him home! He gets to live in the nano while I train him to live on dead shrimp and while MCF orders me a cooler looking frogfish with some color to it. Once I get the new frogfish then Franklin jr. will move into my refugium which will be a perfect home for him. I also plan to eventually keep some cheaper neat looking fish that like to dart around like maybe some zebra damsels because frogfish don't move around much so this will give the tank some movement and damsels are probably quick enough to avoid getting eaten by a frogfish and if not then its less shrimp that I need to buy I guess.

I have a couple pics of the new scape and once of franklin jr...kinda!

The new scape!

We do have another supplier for them, but we will have to wait 2 weeks for the fish to clear QT before we bring more in.
 
Say Hello to Jeffery! He is my new frogfish! He's a little tiny baby only slightly bigger than the one that BlakeT got a couple weeks ago(Stanley).

MCF special ordered him for me from Exotic Reef Imports in California and he arrived yesterday! He is in a little critter keeper that has been drilled for flow and he is inside my nano cube which will be all his to rome once he is big enough to where I wont loose him!

I'm trying to get him to eat little frozen mysis shrimp out of a pipet and if that fails then I'm going to have to source some live ones!

Here are a couple pics of him in his new home for the next few months while he gets a little bigger!

He is so adorable compared to Franklin JR!!!
 
Ahhhh they're like twins! Keep me posted on the frozen training and let us know if you can't find ghost shrimp small enough.

Brought this little guy home today! He has the nano cube all to him self and seems to be loving it! I'm excited to see how he does! It appears that he is also already trained on frozen PE mysis which is a HUGE bonus!
