very nice looking LPS! I tried to get one of these cubes from petsmart but they sold out.

anyways - looks like you have the start of a brilliant tank.

Nice Tank?
How much Cespitularia do you have on the bottom there?

Looking very nice.

Quite a bit of cespitularia. Everything on the bottom is cespitularia except the single frag of pom pom toward the right. The cespitularia is growing like a weed in this tank which is really good considering what people pay for it

I am going to be thinning it out very soon.

Everything is looking great. Your cube has turned out very nicely!

thanks everyone for the comments!

Crabfan: your aquapod is looking really nice too!

Cespitularia is in the Xeniidae family but its not what people typically refer to as xenia. The picture is a bit washed out so the blue hues of the cespitularia dont really show.

The picture looks nice.

I have a 30 gallon cube but due to lighting requirements I realized I'd better go smaller for now. So the angelfish are in their glory in my cube.

What have you got for lighting?

MattG · #13 03/20/2006, 05:49 PM

I have a Sunpod 150 watt DE with a 14k bulb. I really like the light fixture.
