Default 12 gal Aquapod

Had bought the wife a 12 gal JBJ for her office & I liked it so much I had to get a cube for home to go along with my 30 gal reef.
Bought a 12 gal Aquapod off eBay from The Aquaitc Reef. These guys are pretty good & when the 1st one arrived cracked, they sent a new one out immediately - even brought in a professional packer to insure that it didn't happen again.
Set it up using 18 lbs of live sand, and about 5-6 lbs of LR right now. I'll be adding more as I add corals. Used RO/DI water from my MightMite water filter. Swapped out the 160 gal/hr return pump for a MJ900. Using an Eheim 50 W heater. Also blocked off the middle water intake to get better surface skimming. That's about it for mods at this point. May decide to add a Sapphire skimmer at some point but that will have to go in the 4th chamber which means drilling out the 3rd chamber to place the return pump there.
Added a black & gold stripe chromis & a single shroom last night.
Hopefully I'll post some pictures this weekend and as it becomes more populated.

Thanks Keith! Just taking my time with this one. Looking for a small orange plate coral for it. I'll have to get some pix of the wife's cube - she got a great frogspawn & toadstool.
