My Ultimate 150 Cube Build with many pics... Looking for experienced input

The fish in there are from my old setup, Large Naso Tang, Yellow Tang, Potters Angel, One eyed Swallow Tail Angel, (2) Grade A Picasso Clowns, Sixline Wrasse, Male Lyretail Anthias (need to get him a couple women), Flame Hawkfish
 
Here is another front and side picture. Added a Large Blue Tang and Blue spotted Jawfish yesterday. Added some more frags so now it's time to let it grow. Only thing to work on is getting the shadow box up and running on the back with LEDs.




 
I think it could look really amazing if you can get the back wall covered in mushrooms or zoas

Following along as I have the same tank but only 24" high. Still 36x36. Are the T5s the 24" version? I was thinking about adding some to my set up as I only have a 250 watt MH in there now. How are your Tangs handling the 36x36? I wanted to add one to my tank, but everyone was telling me its too small.

I'd like to see a FTS if you don't mind. I started my tank a couple weeks after you and I'd like to see how much your frags have grown. Awesome build BTW.
 
One thing I did change is I put in a 400 watt Radium 20k to replace the 250 watt halide. Just turned the dial on ballast to 400 watt which is nice and it bumped up the par to 850-900 in center just under the water. It was about 110 par more and the bottom of tank when all bulbs are on is about 200 center and 110-125 along the sides. My chalices are looking better now. Was around 90 par and they weren't looking too hot. Getting better extension.

Finally got Kalk reactor working as pump had missing arms so I replaced it and calcium shot to 500+ so I backed down dosing of calcium 2-part. Every thing else was in line with Alk at 8.6

Ordered a Kessil 360w-E to see what it looks like and it's pretty impressive, not sure I'll move away from halide though. We'll see what the 400 W radium does over next few months before I move to new home.
