Best I can do for right now but I can post a better shot when I get home. Good luck on your build. Do you have a build thread going? I have mine setup in a corner of my living room so I set it up as a corner tank it really turned out good imo. Let me know if you have any questions.

Haven't updated thread in awhile with everything going on. Just to get everyone up to speed I went through a very rough battle with dinoflagelates also at the same time had a huge cyano outbreak. I ran gfo and rox carbon in reactors and with weekly 10% water changes I am proud to say all dinoflagelates and cyano are gone now. Woohoo!! I blame myself for this for trying to move things along too quickly which I know better but guess we all make mistakes. Here are a few pictures I took with my phone.

I have also dropped the lighting back to 250 watt radiums instead of the 400 watt. Seems to have helped getting rid of the dino's and cyano. I plan to go back to 400 watt just going to give it some time. I will try my best to get more pictures and update more often.

Not sure of the name picked it up from tiki, I do know I hate the plug when I get a chance it will get broken off and epoxied down to a rock.

I wish I had taken progression shots of getting rid of the dino's, but I hate taking pics of my tank looking like crap.

I saw your post on rrc that is going to be awesome when it's up and running. Thank you for the compliment and I feel all the traveling I do is what helped me get rid of the dino's and cyano. Thank you again!

Those are cerith snail eggs. They (likely) won't survive in a reef tank tho... I see a new set every week or so in mine.

Really liking this build so far, I'm running a smaller version (93g cube) and am amazed the difference 6" makes!

Just added a bunch of ceriths a few months back. Excited things seem to be getting more stable by the day. Thanks for the input and I really like this tank so far. Trying to load it up with frags now.
