reserving this space to post pics of my 12 gallon nano cube. I am mainly over on the box (Houston Fish Box) but since I have been getting more into saltwater a few users suggested I join Marsh also. Excited to be here!

My tank is a JBJ nano 12:
Lighting is stock 2x PC 50/50
upgraded fans to Silenx fans
Running a 10 watt underwater halogen in the middle chamber for a Chaeto fuge
live rock in the first chamber
Heater and stock pump in 3rd chamber
1 Koralia nano 240 circulation pump, Hydor duckbill

not sure the exact wight of my live rock but I would guess its 15 pounds or so.

Corals:
2 types of polyps, one is an orange fire color the other is green with orange in the center.

Livestock:
1 Firefish
1 purple banded brittle star

CUC:
16 nassarius snails
3 margarita snails


I plan to add a quick crew from ReefCleaners.org to supplement my CUC. Want to add 1 or 2 more nano fish. I really want to find a Yosha gobi, and a Yellow banded possum wrasse. Gonna get some frogspawn, torch, and more polyps when I get some more fish money. Got a Tropheus breeding project I am working on so fish money is limited right now. After going to 3CC I think that is my new go-to spot for corals.

Welcome to MARSH. If you are looking for the Yasha goby, Dennis at FJW has them regularly. His store is another great one not too far from 3CC.
By the way, if you become a paid member, both of those stores offer sponsor discounts.

Dennis at FJW sold me my Yosha goby and shrimp pair. Look up the sponsor page and shoot him a call!

pics from a few days ago. Got some good ones of the brittle star:































Took these today. I added a pair of gobies (not sure what type), a Cleaner shrimp I got from a fellow reefer, a torch on the bottom left, and a frogspawn in the middle:

The pair of gobies are scooter blennies. They can be tricky to feed. Just watch them to make sure they eat what you are feeding.
Tank looks nice.

Good Luck!

Thanks for IDing them! I got the pair for the price of one because the owner thought the female was looking weak. I was only gonna get the male as he was looking healthy. Since he threw both in I took the pair. The male has been going crazy munching on pods climbing all over the rocks. The female was looking pretty weak not moving much. I am thinking she might not pull through since she was already looking pretty bad when I got her. There was a huge amount of pods in the tank so if she won't eat them she may be past saving. I will be checking when I get home if she is still alive. The male looks stunning when he flares his dorsal fin.
