<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">I just wanted to post a first thread and say hello to everyone. We purchased a 29 Gallon Biocube HQI back in December from a member of this club that had upgraded. We have been slowly (well at least trying to go slowly :roll stocking and modifying the tank. It had been up and running for about a year when we got it and we were able to move all of the live rock and about 1/3 of the water. We were pretty clueless about everything when we started and thanks to this and other forums and Jenn at Imagine Ocean, we have been learning alot. </span></span>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Over the past 3 months we have added snails, hermit crabs, a cleaner shrimp, a pair of clowns (sadly one did not make it), a goby and a wrasse. We have also added a bunch of coral frags including hammer, four or five varieties of zoas, birdsnest, acans and some mushrooms. We have gone kind of frag crazy and cannot seem to go to the store for water without coming home with at least one. My wife (who was reluctant to get the tank in the first place) is worse than I am and is already talking about a bigger tank! </span></span>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Not sure if I did it correctly but I think I attached a picture of the initial set up from December and a recent photo. Sorry that the pictures are with my phone so are not great quality. We are not sure about placement of all the corals so we have not attached anything permanently and the frags are just sitting on pieces of rock or the sand until we figure out where they are going to live for good. Any suggestions on placement would be welcomed. Thanks and I look forward to getting to know everyone.</span></span>
