Thanks everyone for your nice comments. I cannot wait until I can fill this tank with corals!
In reference to your question, the biocube has two 36 watt power compacts with 3 lunar lights (blue) built into the hood. The ballasts for the power compacts were mounted on the reverse side of the stand with brass screws and mounting hardware to keep the majority of the heat away from the tank itself.
As far as fish are concerned, my wife and I are thinking about a pink skunk clownfish and a flame back angel, any suggestions onn whether I should stick with just two fish or add an additional third when the tank is ready.
