Very nice tank. I love the all-in-one simplicity that I had with my old nanocube. That being said, I'm a big time "custom setup" kind of guy, I'd get bored with having everything just work all the time (hence why I hate apple computers), so I still have to have my piece-by-piece setup. I really like the looks though, and your coral seem to be happy!
 
wow..looks great! are you going to keep SPS? Im really curious to see how the do in these RSM's? oh yeah, and congrats!
 
ive seen that tank personally at a LFS. its pretty sexy. i especially liked the built in timer and the powerstrip on the side of the tank on the inside. only has 1-2 plugs to plug in and everything else plugs into the hidden powerstrip. awsome tank for a bedroom or someone with a lack of space.
 
Yea im keepin the sps in it i hope they do ok,should with the t5 it has my montys look amazing with these bulbs, im going to keep stoking sps though as soon as as i see how thse do. Overall i have to say tanks is great no complaints so far other than the bubbles but its mostly the new equip. Ill post some pics tonight of close ups, and sorry for the bad spelling im on my phone lol

awesome....good luck with that. It looks like the stuff in there now is doing awesome. Did you have any choice in the bulbs or are they proprietary?

Also, I cant imagine it has much evap at all, but does it have an ATO unit? Does it need one?

And what about flow? Are you happy with the stock flow or would you add anything?

Sorry for all the questions; Im definitely considering one of these in the future.
 
You'll definitely be fine keeping SPS under that much light. No problem as far as lighting. My only concern would be water quality, which their built in skimmers are okay, but nothing to write home about. Now, if you stuck a Deltec MC300 or 600 on there.... Then you're in business.
 
Oh, and down the line, you can probably swap out their 39w bulbs with other "brand name" bulbs to get just the look you're looking for. It'll likely have lots of blue+, a few actinic, and a fiji purple :D

Barelly any evap at all, and no it doesnt have an ato unit, however you can buy one if u like and rig it i guess, flow it amazing i think its like 15* turn, which seems like a lot to me since i got my frags flowing all over the place lol, but then if thats not enough u can always get a koralia nano or k2 but that would be overkill imo.

who makes the blue+ bulbs, i wanna check them out?? also ty for all the advice man
 
I think they're ATI bulbs. I don't know much about T5 because I'm a halide guy, however there are some AMAZING threads in the RC equipment and lighting forum about recommended bulb combinations.
