Ok, I set up a 60g and found out it just want right for me. I was going to set up a biocube to begin with so this is the route I took.

I started with a brand new coralife 29g biocube. THese have a few changes over the old oceanic cube. Mostly good i think.

I took everything from my 60g minus one rock and put it in the BC. The lights are the same for the most part .2 36w pc with led lunars. But also has the option to add up to 4 more aux led modules. I added two and it did make a good change. I think stock lights with 4 more led aux modules give a nice color. However, I ended up doing a led upgrade right away. I added 2 reefbrite XHO 15 in strips. but still left in all the electronics for the pcs if I ever want to go back. REally simple about a 15min upgrade. Ill get some pics but I put in 1 50//50 and 1 all blue. it gives the tank a 20k look. 2 50/50's would give a nice 12 to 14k look.
I also added a spinstream thing for a more random flow. and a tunze 6015 to gain some flow around the back. I only run the tunze during the day. charging my camera but ill get some pics and get you all up to speed.

ok , TAlk is doing well. Still have to finalize my little water change deal. pump to pump new saltwater to tank. First pump was too week. Have antoher pump ready to go but just havent had the time. Still running biocube stock filter with bioballs. Blue life carbon/gfo resin mix and purigen.
here are a couple pics I took with my new camera I just got. I like it better than the canon t3i I bought. ONly because its easier for me to use. I bought the nikon d3100 from another reefer here on R2R and it came with a Avast porthole. Woot! lol
Brought home a hectors goby today too. here he is and a few more pics I took.

not bad ill get better with the camera. I was suprised how close to actual colors the pics were. The tank finally finished cycling. I will be putting some chaeto in the first chamber until I pull the bioballs. But for right now they are doing just fine. I need to do some water changes and get that going. Maybe in the next couple days I can get that wrapped up.
