I just wanted to add a few pics of my baby cube. Almost everything in the tank is a frag, with one or 2 small colonies. The tank is a custom built 55ish gallon built by Tranquil Scape. Vince actually built this tank for himself, but he took it down, so I nabbed it from him. The lighting is 1 DE 250 watt hamilton pendant 14k. I am thinking of adding some supplementation of some sort to this for aesthetic purposes. For the first time ever, I am running this tank as a bare bottom. My wife was really against this, but we painted the under side of the tank a sandy white, and she told me today that she will never want sand again
. Flow is handled by 1 hydor koralia 4 and 2 tunze nano 6045s. There is just at 100lbs of live rock in the tank, and skimming is being handled by a Coralife SS 65. The skimmer was also on this tank whn I purchased it, and will be one of my first upgrades. I really don't think this is adequate at all, but I must admit, I have been really surprised with the Superskimmer. Tank is predomiately SPS with a few lps, polyps, and shrooms.
Some things I would like to do to the tank in the very near future are:
-Get a new skimmer. I would love recommendations on this. I am currently looking at the octopus skimmers as well as the deltecs.
-I am probably going to have to get an overflow for the tank, or break it down and get it drilled. I do have another tank to put the inhabitants in if I have to get it drilled. I really don't trust HOB overflows. Who drills tanks around here?
-Find ways to put more flow into this tank. I didn't go bb for nothing
