    As some of you may know, i ordered a PAR38 LED to replace the stock biocube PC's. so heres some pics of before and after, the setup and my inhabitants. i kept the PC hood so i can still use the actinics to simulate sunrise and sunset, and i also plan to upgrade the stock pump, and add lots of coral!

    I hope you all enjoy!

    Oh boy. Did I just read that correctly? Looks good, but you are aware that is going to be a mantis only tank right. It will eat all other live stock. I'm not sure about the coral, others can chime in.

    N.Wennerae gets about 3" my LFS said, also they are known to look just like Peacocks, but under my LED's he should change some.
