Jarrod's 150 Cube.

[Black71gp]

Well, back in the hobby after a year break, and MUCH smaller this time. (this was my old system aprox 1200 gallons, http://www.michiganreefers.com/forum...ixed-reef.html ).

Anyway, I bought my 150 glass cube from, Ardo Ski. it is 36x36x27. center overflow in the back, came with his lighting, 10 36" t-5's, I have a snapper return pump, Octo 250 skimmer, AC3, I had a stand built out of oak, and the tank is just cycling right now. Will be very basic and very simple. Here are a few photos.

Thanks all I have for right now, I will get some more taken with the other lights on, and once the cycle is done.

That looks great! What is your stocking plan? Looks like a lot of room for some awesome sps forests. Whats driving the bulbs?

[Black71gp]

stocking plan.. not sure not going to be able to afford much. VERY limited SPS corals, colonies not frags, some Zoa's and Rics down low for filler a few LPS and softies here and there.

Fish, I wanted a pair of potters angels, or multi color. but we shall see how that goes.

I love the potters but you will not want zoos with them. Or lps for that matter. I really wanted a potters and/or an eibli they are both lps and zoo munchers from what I have read.

ya, that scape will provide some awesome look when the corals start growing and tons of swimmin room for the fish.

Looks good Jarrod. Welcome back. I can't wait to see if that is all the fish you get. I remember your last system. Watchout as you know this hobby is like crack cocaine. BTW love the rockwork.

all depends on how they are raised and fed, people told me i couldnt have them before, my last reef had a blueface, emperor, ebili, coral beauty. All with clams, zoas, lps and sps, only thing i could not keep was a brain coral.. so we shall see how that all goes together. I took my time to feed them and care for them so they didnt have a need to pick and they enjoyed being fed by me.



Thanks Slapshot, well its only a 150 so i cant have the MASSIVE collection of fish and tangs like I did last time.. I think i had over 30 fish at one point, and most large tangs. but glad to be back, hope I can stay with the 150 for a while..

I would really like a few anthias as well.. 3 females 1 male perhaps...
