Hey Ian, post some newer pics with the new lights! The lights in your first pics are awful! They 'wash out' all the color in your tank!!! New pics will help you get votes I'm sure!

Nice tank, Pyro!

Default More about my cube

My tank is a stock JBJ 12g Deluxe with a couple of mods. First the circ pump has been changed out for a Rio +1100 running at about 250gph. In the center filtration bay I have installed a modified Nano Fission skimmer. I also use Purigen bags that I regenerate in rotation.

Live stock:
1 - Coral Beauty
2 - Ocellaris Clowns
1 - Ocellated Dragonet
1 - Skunk Shrimp
various scarlet, blue legged and mexican red legged hermits
a variety of snails

7 1/2 heads of frogspawn ( was five heads, but the darn thing keeps growing)
10 polyps of red micromussa
bunches of orange zoas with lightly iridescent oral disks
green on green zoas
green tentacled orange oral disk zoas
green star polyps
red/purple lobo
blastomussa merletti
birdsnest (new!)

This tank resides in my office at a nitrogen chemical plant and I plan on fragging out the corals for the 120 gallon home tank that I will build in April 2009.

You have to upload the image to a image hosting site like photobucket. Once you do that you just copy to [IMG] code into the reply box.
