Good evening everyone,
My name is mike, I am 21 from Orange. I was involved in the club a few years back when I was in high school. I started with a 30 gallon tank that ultimately led to a 125 SPS tank. I also had a 29 bio cube. I still have a ton of equipment laying around and after talking to a friend here at college, I think I've been bitten by the bug to get back into it. I have been talking with my mother about setting up the 29 bio cube at my parents house. she wants to do a clown tank, simple enough, but of course anyone who knows me knows that I have bigger plans. I am still in the planning phases but I think I want to set up the 29 bio cube with 2 clowns and maybe a RBTA depending on lighting. is ORA still breeding those crazy clowns lol? Right now the bio cube has the factory power compacts in it but that's not enough for the RBTA... what do my options look like for LED's. I would prefer to keep the factory hood but I am not opposed to building a small canopy to house an external fixture. the tank will most likely be going in the living room. realistically it will be mostly zoas and maybe a few soft corals max. I want to keep it simple but still have the full reef look to it like I'm used to. I am gone for months on end with internships, sea time and mil. obligations so it will really be my mothers tank. I guess my first question is who is still around from the 2013 era, and what are your recommendations for lighting in a 29 biocube other than the factory PC's.
