    Tank is a 29 gallon biocube. Lighting is a Sunpod 150W Metal Halide. Other equipment includes a Tunze 9002 portein skimmer, ATO, titanium heater, and 2 Koralia 2 powerheads.

    This was the start in November 2008

    great looking corals you have there Foresteronw

    I think I see a nice gap on the very purple rock lower front right

    corals have coloured up real nice under the lighting, what colour temp or K lamp are you using?

    Thanks!

    Its a 14K 150W bulb. No actinics...but I wish I had some.

    I'm building a new tank right now so I'll have more room. I'm planning on getting rid of some of my frags though, hopefully about 50% of them. Things I have doubles of or just not crazy about any more.

    Thanks for all the comments!

    I have three fish in there; a pair of A.percula clownfish and a sixline wrasse. It was just the clowns until two weeks ago when I put the sixline in there.

    The light I paid around $150 for it but it was used. If you look on certain sites you'll see them used every now and then.
