    Haha no worried cube, here's what I came home with for $20 so beat ya by $3, lol, guessing the lights are cheaper!
    But I love the extra room it gives me

    No problem, I wish I had more height. But from what I can tell the current light is working great. Coralline algae has recently taken off like a rocket down there over the past few weeks.

    Just got a chance to catch up on your thread and all I can say is fine job sir! It really looks good Cosmo,that clam for some reason looks even bigger in the 90?Optical illusion maybe.

    lol thanks bro, still have had zero spikes indicating any mini cycle, the mandarin seems hungrier than usual, so i'm gonna start seeding the tank with pods, uggh, this $20 fish is gonna turn into a $700 fish before I know it, already have an easy $500 in setting up for it on the 55g, lol
