    Hey guys, James here from South Florida. Been around freshwater tanks for a long time now and about 6 years ago I got into saltwater.

    My first was a 29 gallon BioCube that did very well and I decided to upgrade to a 55 gallon. I had my ups and down with the 55 so I took it down a few months ago when I moved.

    Now I'm ready to start fresh and I'm thinking of getting a 60 gallon Cube tank and LEDs for lights. I'm planning to make the lights and stand myself so I'll keep you guys posted on my latest build.

    Here is a pic of my first tank.

    Thanks for the welcome. Been busy tracking down an LFS that sells tanks at a very good price and I've been reading more on DIY LED lights now that I found out about a Jarduino Controller. Looks to be very promising. Figuring out where to buy the piece to make it. I'm in the Ft. Lauderdale area. It was rainy but now it's feeling like summer already.
