Here is my new 37g cube. With Bakpak2r w/ bbx. 2 maxi-900s, Coralife 150w MH. Im filling her up tomorrow. and ordering a mix of marshall islands LR and some tampa bay saltwater LR. Anyone have any ideas on aquascaping? I will continue to post on this thread. You will see my successes and failures

r u planning to keep sps/clams?? cuz i dont think 150w is enough for a 30+ gallon
