Looks great so far, upgrading tanks is always exciting. Just be carful where you put that galaxea. They can reach about a foot with their tentacles. Keep up the good work and you know we all like more pics!

thanks! Yeah, I have a pretty big galaxea colony on my 45, their tentacles are ridiculously long

Okay guys, so I just had to drive down to my LFS for their supper B.Friday deals and picked up some pretty cool stuff for this project.
Tank should be here tomorrow

Love the pomp pom crab and sexy shrimp! Some of my favorite oddballs, right there.

I never understood putting a spotlight over my tank. How does the 150 look over all?

Seen a lot of people use Kessil 150 to 360 for small cubes, I guess it works well due to small area it has to cover.

I've decided to go with maxspec celestial spotlight, thought kessil was a little overkill for my tank and hate the fact that you need to purchase everything separately, the light itself, gooseneck, gooseneck attachment and controller.

I will let you guys how Maxspec celestial works, it is around the same price as Kessil 150 but you don't need a separate controller for it and is full spectrum 4 channel.

Not like the a160's...when I say control I was referring something to like the a350's

For me, I had them lying around from when I ungraded my larger tank, I just hate that it's Windex blue which is why I want to change, but the corals seem to like it

Keep us posted on the build....being that we have the same tank I think it'll b interesting

So today I decided to remove some of the sand, it was close to 1.5" and thought it was too much for such a small tank, also relocated the rocks and removed some of them to show the tongas better.
Later, removed the original mesh from the top that was bocking a lot of the light from passing through and replaced it with BRS clear, thin mesh.....what a night and day difference it made.
Also got this little guy to join the club.
