12inch Cube tank Build

[dan10342]

Well after much thought, and a few friends to convince me on the way, I have decided I am going to start a new cube tank to rival the one i had a year ago. (It feels like much longer).

I would Like to highlight every coral in the tank, so to do that, I am keeping the aquarium rather small. Only colorful, select, and unique corals will be kept in this tank.

Currently I have been eyeing a Mr. Aqua Glass Rimless cube aquarium. they are pretty simple, affordable, and look decently nice.

At the current time, lighting is the biggest issue. This build will be very very slow until the lighting situation is taken care of. I am hoping the 12 inch t5s by UVL will be available soon, Or i might have to break and go with LEDs.

As far as livestock, all I have currently are a few acans, and a hammer coral... however I hope to start a colorful zoo/paly garden, get some nice florida rics in there, maybe a few maxi mini nems, etc.

A few coral teaser snaps, of corals going into the tank.

More to come... hopefully soon.

Well I thought he died on the trip from geneseo NY to Biddeford Maine. Then I thought he got eaten, when i stopped seeing him for the longest time.

And then tonight, he was just chillin out of nowhere... BOXER (shrimps name)!

guess he was hiding in the pvc legs that hold my eggcrate rack up.
