    So I took my wife with me to the lfs the other day and now she want a 150 gallon cube when we move into the new house. My lfs has one for his reef. I will probably get the tank from Marineland and build a custom stand, 36" cubed and I am thinking a custom LED unit from Rapid LED. As for equipment I am not currently sold on anything right now but want to keep it simple but efficent. I want the tank to be a big version of a nano w/ an emphasis on the rock scape and plenty of small "nano" fish. I will be moving the current stock from my 40B, Coral Beauty, Firefish, Sixline Wrasse, YWG, Occ. Clown, Seabae Clown and Cleaner Shrimp. I plan to keep the bio load on the lower side.

    Cube reefs such as these with lots of smaller fish have always drawn my attention. With all the activity from the small fish its almost as though someone transplanted a perfect square of a natural reef into their tank. Very cool man, sounds like you are off to a good start!

    Well I went and done it last week and bought a bar goby (dart). He and my YWG are now BFFs, they live together and everything. My YWG was really shy who lived in the right rear and never really moved away from that corner, now he lives up front and moves all over. The bar goby is a really neat fish and swims a lot. The move should be happening the first week in May so I will be posting pics then.
