Been on here a while, mostly in chat and the FW section on occasion. Sold a bunch of tanks and got a Bio-Cube 29. My plans are 150w MH with either PC or T-5's. The tank will be a reef tank(gonna take a looong time), concentrating on clams mostly(the reason i got in to SW)



How i started a little bit ago. Today i went to the LFS and picked up some more rock..wanted more needed laundry money soo i will get more next week



how she sits today

Mods to come are a
Tunze 9002 Skimmer and inTank cup
inTank media basket for a fuge or just some media if needed

Stocking im unsure about what im going to put into this tank fish stocking wise most likely some form of clown, still cant decide love the yellow stripe crimson clowns and tomato clowns

sooo uhh yea thats my tank hope you like it

Looks great. Love the rock and aquascape!

Sounds/looks like you've done your homework. Both the Tunze and the inTank additions will serve you well. Have you thought about additional flow? You will need it especially if you are planning on clams.

I need to look into those Evos. Heard some good things so far.

The branchy looking piece looks like tonga rock which you don't see much anymore (think collection might be resticted now). If you want to add some nice base rock checkout www.bulkreefsupply.com. Their pukani rock is full of all sort of nooks and crannies. It will become live in no time and is pretty cheap compared to live rock.

Edit: Oops, posted before you responded. That is one thick piece of dead coral. Must be an acro or a staghorn. Very cool piece whatever it is!
