    How long ago did you do this Unclejed

    those corals seem to have taken really well to the changes IMHO
    Some really nice expansion going on with everything in there

    I just set it up last Sunday (2/13/11). I had some advice from my LFS buddy to use Prime and add in the media from the old tank. I also added SuperBac Aquarium and Marine-Max. So far so good. I too was surprised by the coral. They bounced right back within a day.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    It is a really nice set up, I like the look of the rim and the cube. Will be interesting to see your review of the lighting in some time.

    Congratulations.

    Thanks. I am real confident in the lighting. Along with the Marineland there is an Ecoxotic Module and Stunner strip. The Bio had the Module and Stunner.

    Not sure what hood you mean? Do you mean that you think a hood would look better?
