Mike's 14g biocube...

I started to get the shakes without a fish tank so I bought a nano to calm the nerves. It should be ready in about a week for fish and corals. Tell me what you think.

Looks good. Are you planning on doing any mods? I really like the aquascaping.

I believe the 1st pic is with both white and actinic lights and the 2nd/3rd is just the actinic's...at least that is what my 14g looks like with just the actinics.

Looks nice, I like that there is a lot of rock in the tank.

What are you planning on keeping?

Thanks guys, yeah the first pic is both lights and the other 2 are actinic. I plan on keeping only a few high end corals and 1-2 high end fish.

I got my rock from a local fish store called Southwest Saltwater southwestsaltwater.net . He has awesome rock worth the price.

Yeah the rock itself is nice BUT...the aquascape you did with it is very nice! It is hard to aquascape a nano and get the rocks to look like that first time around. You did a very well done job...
Keep us posted with pics. Thanks

I think you got the aquascaping dialed in.

Looks great!
