Heidi's 150g cube

[Heidi]

Full. The water clearing up now after I messed w/ the rock more. It'll get fogged up again cause I am not done w/ rock work. Just thought I better snap a picture this morning before I messed w/ it.

I am running a filter sock I put a bag of carbon in there last night. There's some cheato in there from the hex and a couple handfuls of sand from .

There is egg-crate under all the rocks in the main tower this time to keep jolly from sinking it. I left a few rocks around that are just on the sand for him. More to come once I get my rocks all how I want them.

Scape is stable now no more avalanches!
These pictures are w/ half the lights working, on the old ballasts, new Ice caps are on the way to "brighten" and "whiten" it up. I had to tweak the color temperature a ton so the pictures didn't look bright blue! T5s are gonna take a ton of getting used too.

Thats 1/2 dry "reef sand" med grade and 1/2 "fine crushed coral" I got all the sand @Pet Supplies Plus. I will be adding all my rock from the hex but thats it. That tower is 19 inches tall remember, and there are 3 huge plates on top for a garden of sps. My style has always been "less is more". the back left side will be the home of most of my hex live rock. Don't worry I have drawn this out its gonna be SWEET!
