I just am starting a new cube tank, it is a 24" x 24" x 12" deep blue , I am using caribsea life rock arches ( 20 lbs ) ( will be here this week ) and some live sand, for flow I am using octopulse 2 return pump and 1 x ecotech marine MP10. lighting I am using 1 x reefbrite 150w metal halide LED hybrid combo fixture.. I am using tropic marine pro reef salt. I am using a reef octo 110 protein skimmer.. want this to be 100% sps reef, no fish! lets see yours for my inspiration.
 
Here it is now waiting on the rock

will move tank to square up with light
 
Lots of non SPS up front but mostly SPS by count. Still under a year and struggling with dinos killing stuff off but getting somewhere stable. Same dimensions as you’re building. Looking forward to following along

nice, good luck on your journey!

100% SPS reef with no fish make for a bad combo, IMO. Are you planning to dose everything you need, feeding something like reefroids, instead of relying on fish to provide the stuff your corals need?
@ycnibrc just in time for your post... hahaha
 
Yep, using reef roids and dosing 2 part with my apex.

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

    Votes: 20 32.8%
  • Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

    Votes: 8 13.1%
  • It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

    Votes: 9 14.8%
  • It depends on how badly I want the fish

    Votes: 12 19.7%
  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

    Votes: 9 14.8%
  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

    Votes: 11 18.0%
  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!

  • I haven’t really considered this before
