The return is powered by a dart.

With no rock or siphon break. Returns front center on the bottom.

Some rock and the siphon break installed. Notice you can't see the returns

And if you want to see the build here it is. It's very out of date but now that I have a camera again I will have to make a long set of updates. When I can get around to it...

Awesome pics everyone.

The only reason mine is unique is b/c it's been up ~90days and I haven't killed anything yet! *knocks on wood*

The only thing I can keep is an open brain and the clown that he is hosting.

I have no sump, nitrates 0.

Bongo Shrimp · 12/21/2009, 07:35 PM

Other than the crazy amount of fish and shrimp I am able to sustain in my 29g biocube reef, the most unique thing is my Crinoid Feather Star that it almost 3 years old IN CAPTIVITY!

In my Lagoon tank I have 4 Bongo Shrimp which is pretty cool too.

Frogmanx82 · 12/21/2009, 07:44 PM

Whats the secret on the feather star? My lfs guy just lost his after 3 weeks.

Bongo Shrimp · 12/21/2009, 07:46 PM

Well the guy I got it from had a idea about what it eats so I feed it what we think it might eat. It is impossible though to know what each different one eats because each one of a different color pattern eats something different than the rest. I guess my tank also has the perfect parameters for him too.

Beautiful Bongo!

I don't have any hermit crabs in either of my tanks.

I have a happy harem of Royal Grammas in a 55 gallon tank.

cody6766 · 12/22/2009, 12:11 AM

I have a yellow clown goby that hosted a derasa clam...until I killed the clam. Now he hosts a lobo.

See- therein lies the problem=

If I told you what I feed it, you might feel you could go out, get one and feed it the same thing. But you couldn't since each one eats something different.

That being said, I feed frozen cyclops and mysis but he only likes the cyclopeeze. The mysis are for the fish and corals.

corbett_n · 12/22/2009, 09:11 AM

I have some amazing looking corals, but can't get mushrooms to grow for #$%^
