Sweet little cube. I really like this size...the frag tank at the store is this size and I want that tank too. Whatcha gonna put in it?

[noirsphynx]

It's going to be a mixed reef but mostly sps. I have a school of 5 Threadfin Cardinals to go in it and I'm going to pick up a couple Bangaii Cardinals this week. I also have several small inverts, 3 sexy shrimp, 2 nano cleaner shrimp, purple porcelin crab, pom pom crab and I did have a bumble bee shrimp but it managed to escape from my in-tank refugium in my 90g and now I can't find it . Oh yeah, I almost forgot I also have a Gumdrop Coral Croucher that I NEVER see that will go in the tank, it lives inside the live rock almost all the time.

mmmm cube tanks.

Can't wait to see this one up and running

just a suggestion with 'scaping. In addition to the whole hulk smash idea. I've really become a fan of tanks with not a whole helluva lot of rockwork. The nano has MAYBE 2lbs in it. and the 50 gallon I'm working on will have 25-30.... maybe try that route?

I'm with you on not going overkill with rock, I'm not keeping all 130lbs of rock. I had my heart set on creating a "bonsai" inspired look after following a thread on RC but I honestly don't think I'm going to be able to replicate it.

Sounds like a cool stocking list....why dont you think you will be able to replicate the rockwork you like?

Thanks, I love the threadfin cardinals, they've remained in a tight school even in my 90g and they're the only inhabitants. I can't wait to get a bangaii pair, should happen fairly soon. As for the gumdrop coral groucher, he's MIA.

As for the rock scape...........too much work and not enough patience
