At the end of February I go in contact with a guy in Denver who was getting rid of his tank. The tank is a custom built 30 gallon cube with an overflow weir and custom 10 gallon sump. I got lucky and the guy worked in the glass industry and custom cut the tank panels from quarter inch Starphire ultra-clear glass. Running in the display of the tank I have the following:
AI Prim 16HD
AI Hydra 26HD
Sicce Voyager Nano 1000
Jebao SLW-20

In the sump I have space for a nice macro algae refugium and dual filter sock setup. The equipment I am running in there includes:
Coralife LED mini aqualight
Reef Octopus BH50 nano skimmer
Sicce Syncra 1.0 return pump

I stocked the tank with the coral, fish and rock from my previous 15 gallon tank. below is the picture of the tank right after it was set up.

A new update on the tank (part one) . I have since moved to a new apartment and have made some significant changes to the tank. First, I changed some rock out to allow for more space for fish to explore. I have also begun shifting the tank to a more heavy SPS look at the top. I have also added more fish and made macroalgae refugium with a deep sand bed in a section of my sump. Lastly, I removed my AI prime HD and changed upgraded the diodes on my Hydra 26. It has been two months since I upgraded to the Luxidium Gold diodes and have already started to notice a welcomed pop in the colors of my corals.
