Sounds exciting Jim, I thought for sure you would be going a different direction than the VorTech after your issues with the 20!
I think you'll love those LED to. I was very impressed with the ones I got off of eBay!
LED are for sure the way to go, particularly if you like to see your corals in HD!! I just mounted to PB LED's to the DT and it truly is amazing how the water shimmers and dances!
What all are you going to be keeping in this cube anyway?

Regarding the Vortech, I mailed the MP-20 in and they replaced it with a new pump. Hopefully my issues have been resolved with subsequent product improvements. Upon offering a replacement, I swung a deal for the new MP-10 and wet side. Having a spare wet side should help with making it through problems if they arise.
Still undecided what I will focus on with the cube. Right now, I'm going to move my existing stock in there and see where I want to go with it. Andy's been working on getting me to grow sticks in it.

Looking good Jim! It was nice talking with you at the swap.

Did you end up choosing any LEDs for night lights? I'm looking to get some feedback....
DO WORK!
Update
Been slowly working on the new tank. First, a picture of the cool frag rocks I won at the GRMAS swap last weekend. The two on the right are from Alternative Reef. The one on the left I think came from EcoReef Technologies. The magnets on the Alternative Reef are very significant...frankly overkill for the thin back wall.
I also finished the stand
As you can see in this picture, I used metallic paint, so that magnets will stick to it. Now I can add "my flare" to the stand....not sure how many pieces that will be (Office Space referrence)... LOL...
And, as you can see from this picture, I used "chalkboard" paint so I can write myself notes, or whatever....

NOICE!!!!, i want to redo my tank and do something like that on the back wall. cant wait to see this tank up and running!!!
Me either...Originally Posted by demonclownfish
I need to get a few more goodies around and hopefully will have it filled with water within a week. My new Vortech MP10wES should be here by Wednesday. Need to order some actinic LEDs soon as well. I want to install them under the rim stock so it will be easier to do that when the tank is dry.

I love it! I've used that kind of rock myself, picking up little bitty flat ones to put corals on so that my diamond gobies can't make a new cave under them. Can't wait to see this one grow.
