Those chalice colors are popping so hard! Love how you’ve got them clustered on the rock like that. Chalices can be tricky in a 60 cube with flow and placement since they hate too much direct current but need solid water movement to keep pests away. Are you running moderate lighting or trying to dial down PAR for them? Also curious if you’ve noticed any color fade or are they holding steady? The soft polyp coral in front adds a nice contrasting texture too. Nanos like this always challenge me balancing space and flow without stressing the polyps. What’s your alk and mag looking like

I run 100 w hyper Reef.. along with my two filters, I run two wave makers blowing at each other to create a swirling current. I don't really monitor any of my alkalinity calcium or any of that. I just use a doser every other day

Nice setup! That swirling flow sounds great for keeping things moving without blasting the chalices. Dosing regularly helps a ton even

I found focusing on your microflora and microfauna are the keys to keep stable and strong

Totally agree! Keeping that tiny ecosystem balanced makes all the difference in these small setups. Gotta love those micro critters

I've been breeding freshwater scuds for the last 2 years. I've tried with salt a few times but they're a little more difficult to culture. I'm probably going to give it another chance after the new year, good food and cleanup crew
