IM 150 build progress

[Mastiffking]

There was just a water station. Then came the mini cube... and now today I am waiting for the delivery of my IM 150gal reef tank.

Hi everyone. I thought I would share my reef hobby build out as things are starting to ramp up. I had originally planned on receiving the 150 in Dec/Jan as the store said it takes about 6 months for the tank to ship. Well, I guess IM decided to build it faster. It arrives today. Hopefully I can start working on it in a few weeks. But in the mean time, I have my 15gal cube which is operating as a teaching lab for my youngest daughter who is super psyched! That is until the clean starts... Questions on lighting, For the little tank any recommendation on a lighting schedule?

Well, I lost a small daisy colony frag. Other than that everything is growing and appears happy.
