    Heyeverybody, glad to be back. Just showing off our newest project, a 30 gallon cube, FO non-reef aggressive tank, LED lit. Right now its pretty low key, with just the damsel from starting, a dottyback, purple firefish, and small clean up crew. Sump to come in the future, having trouble designing one because of the cubes measurements the stand is a little weird. Future inhabitants will be a maroon clown pair, flame angel, and whatever else tickled my fancy.

    Welcome back, that is quite a colorful stocking list. Matches the decor nicely.

    So hard to design a scape on these tanks. I am living that nightmare right now.

    I really like the black sand.

    Good luck with the scape.

    That's the easy and fun part for me! Eventually, the middle part will be raised up to pretty much match the surface, then the rock will cascade and spread out towards the bottom, leaving the tall central island back. I'm just having problems finding the rest of the rock, as I need very particular shapes for it. I might actually check the landscaping companies for some tufa and just do work with a chisel and hammer if I don't find anything soon.

    Are you going to drill it? if not how are you attaching it together.

    Mine is going to be a central Bonzai but I am afraid my sps will over shadow the lps, so I am really stuck. Wish I was as confident as you. :)
