Nano's 35 gallon cube, New FTS 5/30/2012

Hey Guy's its that time of year, where I get the itch to do something.
So I bought a new 35 gallon cube tank! I am hoping to do something truly
elegant, and different with the aquascape, but I need some suggestions.
its 24x24x15 so my height is a bit limited, but I am thinking 2 pillar
structures, one larger one in the back corner, and a smaller on middle
or front corner area. Both would have some shelves coming out of them.
Again open to suggestions

Equipment.

JBJ ATO

Lighting
AI SOL super blue
AI controller
Still thinking of refugium light, most likely small t5/CFL

Skimmer
Tunze 9002

Powerheads
2 Koralia 240

Custom Oak Stand built by yours truly, Custom AI mounting Arm welded
by my bud, not sure if I'll paint it white to match the SOL or black to match
the eurobracing.

Still building the sump/fuge (will update)

The DT will be all Dry rock for aquascaping reasons, and all my live rock
will go in the sump, all though I might put one or 2 small chunks in the DT
temporarily.

I have 2 ocellaris, one bangai, one scooter blenny, that I plan on putting
in, and am looking at maybe 2 more fish, so suggest some! I want some
nice color but also functional fish (i.e. pest eaters)

Current CUC consists of
1 emerald crab
4 Hermits
2 Astrea snails
2 Turbos

Shot in Raw, color corrected on photoshop, maybe a bit too much saturation but otherwise, pretty accurate finally i know how to take a half @$$ ok FTS lol

 

Heres a cheap paint drawing of the layout of rocks I kind of have in mind

 

I'm Gunna follow! how about an island aquascape? Or like a half moon cove with a small island? Here's mine, it's a cove with island.

 

yeah I thought of that, but I'd really love some open swimming space instead of having all the fish swimming in the front of the tank

 

I like this alot.

 

So I finally finished the stand, and a friend of mine built the overflow, and a Custom AI SOL mounting Arm. Everything is almost ready to get wet at this point, just waiting to plumb the tank! heres a few pics to tie you over for the time being

 

The stand is beautiful. You did a great job on it.

That is pretty much what i want to do with my light over my cube. Any idea where the parts for it came from?

 

Its all 100% custom, my friend is a welder, so he made it. you might be able to find one similar online, probably a couple $100 though.

 

I see, thanks for the info. I have some friends who weld. Might have to see if they can make something for me. Nice tank Btw
