Hi Want to share my new project its a pico Cube (7-8 Gal)

Tank Dimension: 12 x 12 x 12 AGA (All Glass Aquarium)

Planning to put some inverts, softies and some easy to handle SPS

Filter: Rio+ 400 Internal Filter (To be moded soon, will remove the sponge inside the box and re-placed with macro algae)

The filter will be place horizontal inside so that the algae can get some lights (thank that the extension filter is semi-clear)

Lights: To be followed (making plans for DIY LED)

Rockscape: Soon just rinsing and drying my excess live rocks

Happy Reefing

there would be a change of plans :D instead of housing some of SPS it would be pure Softies and inverts only.. I just recently purchased a LED fixture and maybe it would be suitable for this project.. some of my friends are using this kind of fixture also and works very well specially on soft corals
