    Hey! My name is Crystal
    I'm pretty new to the Hobby my boyfriend Sterling and I took it up about 6 months or so ago. We had a Biocube 29 for a while but have upgraded to a 55 about three weeks ago. Everything is going smoothly as of right now which is excellent:)
    We have a pretty good selection of fish in our tank.
    A BristleTooth Tang
    Orange Spot Diamond Goby
    Yellow Watchman Goby
    Maroon Clown
    Bangaii Cardinal
    a Scarlet Hawkfish
    Flasher Wrasse
    And Anthias
    of course we have a CUC of approximately 15 Snails of all different shapes and sizes, and around 8-10 Crabs (again assorted sizes).
    There's probably somewhere around 70-80Lbs of LR (although 30 of those pounds are from one big ol' flat shelf of a rock) and ohh 40 pounds or so of sand:)

    Anyways I'll post pictures of the tank soon enough:)

    Sounds like you have a very large bioload there Cuddlefish. What are we going to do?

    Well its true our bioload is a bit big but the more the merrier, PLUS none of the fish are in adulthood yet, perhaps we have a few too many inches, i suppose being diligent with our water changes (i`d say a safe 15-20% weekly) and obviously keeping a close eye on our levels...:) we should be golden!*crosses fingers*

    (Yeah Sterling, Karma for overloading your own tank haha!!!)

    LOL not all that stuff was in the Biocube, gosh I`d be a horrible person if I had attempted to squish it all into what should be 29g of water and was most likely closer to 22g...damn biocubes are so much smaller than they claim to be!
