Current look of the tank itself, picking up a large sps pack from Rob's 300g tank that was featured reef tank last month so its gonna be beautiful pack to say the least! still working on a lighting schedule I like. Currently trying out the AB+ low power schedule for AI but just switched that a couple days ago. getting solid PE from my current sps and frags have already encrusted onto rocks. Havent glued down quite a few due to this new pack I'm getting and placement of them.

Looking good! In about 2-3 years my plan is to upgrade my 29 biocube to one of the RSR Penninsula tanks, and have it between our dining room and family room! It was the wife's idea too!

Nice! my buddy has one and its beautiful. I just recently talked the fiancé into 750xxl once we get the new house. so naturally the first thing ive looked at when walking into homes is where can I put the tank! lol

Got my sps pack! Pretty stoked about it, Even came with a nice sized JF flame and RR Pink Floyd, CITR Red Dragon as well as 5 others. Not gonna lie, mildly nervous but only time will tell

Can't wait to see those SPS frags mounted and growing!!
i need to figure out the best way to take some decent pics that really show the color, but here is a massive chunk of ORA Red Planet that I got on Monday, that is a 4inch disc its sitting on lol I got a screaming deal on it too. Not sure if this is where I want to keep it mounted but its definitely happy for the time being. Hard to place such a large piece but I didn't want to frag it up

Another crappy picture from a few weeks ago, you can kind of make out some of the new sps, can see the tips of the JF Flame and a few others. Only thing that's missing is my large wetthumbs bumble gum digi that I'm currently debating if I want to keep it in its current location. Have my gyres running pretty heavy and it seems to be getting direct flow which I'm not really a fan of

You should definitely look into it just for the reef club lol search Roberts 300g here on r2r and youll see his entire display tank. it was featured in January. He has some amazing stuff
