Wow bro! i feel the same way about Acro's, your tank is marvelous! Really nice setup and pik's!

Gotta love those sticks. Be careful they are addictive.

Nice how you have all the mechanical in the basement like that. So much easier than having to maintain it all inside of a cabinet.

What is that balancing on the wood blocks? Is that your chiller?

 

[Bigcefa]

That's the algae scrubber

 

[REEF SMAC]

Thanks ^^

Never seen one like that.

[Ansphire]

Tank looks great for such a young tank.

 

[r-balljunkie]

good start. fish list?

 

[cracker642]

Nice tank what is that under the clown fish

 

[Ansphire]

Dont have many fish.. just a pair of ocellaris clowns, royal gramma and yellow tang which wont be in the tank much longer as it outgrew it fast.

maybe ill get a group of chromis and a nice wrasse.. but thats it.

under the clown?.. u mean the red cap?

Last piece of the puzzle.. vortech mp40

 

[stevedola]

I like your aquascape...I think its better than mine but I dont know how I would re-scape my cube. Id just be weary of the caps...as you can see they get big quick and take a lot of space in a small tank. Good job!

 

[Pallobi]

What a great little cube and scape!!! :beer:

Would you please review your L2? Is it worth it for an SPS tank in your opinion?

 

[SantaMonica]

Interesting step... dropping the lps etc. And yes the cap will take over eventually, unless it's up at the top already.

Love the l2. Compact and very powerful. Its worth for any tank, specially sps where low nutrients are necessary. Also feeds my sps. Think of it as a fuge on steroids.
