Talking 12" Cube Build

It's finally here. I just got my new 12" starfire cube. I'm setting it up right now. Everything form my old 2.5 gallon will be moving over.

The Specs:

Tank: Custom 12" starfire cube. 1/2" bottom glass 1/4" sides
Light: Aqua Medic 150 watt w/ Iwasaki 50,000k bulb
Filter: Aquaclear 50 w/ carbon, Purigen and Poly filter
Flow: Tunze nano 6025
Cooling: a whole bunch of fans

The Plan:
Although a lot of zoas and some ricordia will be moving over the main focus of this tank is going to be SPS. I hope to find large bright pink birdsnest for the focal point along with some bright green and blue SPS around it to add contrast. The tank is going to be bare bottom with different encrusting corals such as chalice and montipora covering the bottom glass. Also my 5 tiny gobies will be moving in too. They include 2 Trimma Canas, 2 unidentified Trimma species and a tiny unidentified Eviota.

If all goes well I will post some pics tonight. Here is a picture of the 2.5 gallon to hold you over.
