Yep its the pheonix 14k. awesome bulb. You should have bought it when you were in the store.

Well small update. I hate watching cycling tanks. Been playing around with the rock alot lately and finally have it in a position where I am content with it.

Now this is where I am having issues. Coral. I love my LPS, mostly my acans but I have a crack addiction to SPS. I want a 250watt MH but I am unsure if it will just cook the acans. So I cant decide if I want to have a strictly SPS tank or not. As of now, I am probably just going to drop them in and see where it takes me.

Coral that will be venturing into the tank from the 60gal/biocube:

Snappy's Super Grape Mille
Snappy's A.Convexa
Snappy's Neon Green Birdsnest
ORA Red Planet
WickedFrag's Green and Orange Stylo
Red and green Blasto's
Acan Lord's (3 types)
A.Secale

Stuff that I am looking into

LobsterBoy's Pink Stylo
Snappy's Granulosa
Some sort of stag. Probably something Blue...
Ultra clam (of some sort)

The Goal for this tank is not to overcrowd. With my previous tank I placed everything way to close together. I want huge colonies this time. No zoa's, pest softies, or pests at all. Everything is being religously dipped.

And now I'll be keeping an eye on yours too. Looks great. Sorry maybe I missed it but what lighting fixture/wattage are you using? Like the color.

Right now over the cube is just the biocube hood with the actinics on. And over the biocube is the JBJ Viper K2 150watt MH with a 14k pheonix bulb. Love it, and will be buying a pheonix for the 250watt down the road

That tank is amazing, almost makes me want more SPS :lol:. Larger tanks are nice for stability and growth but you can't beat the look of a colorful nano/ medium sized tank.

I think you should.

Sooo... i'm a nerd. made a COD video of me playing. Keeps me occupied while the tank cycles

Transfer was completed 2 weeks ago. I have been having issues dialing in my flow. Also my devils hand hasn't been looking the greatest in the past couple of days ever since I fed the acans "acanplus." I'm having "new tank syndrome" and I am just not sure about my route. Every day I keep thinking about putting SPS in it. Here are a few pic's I look with the new cam:

Ummm biopellets. Its looking like I am having a nutrient issue. Might resort to running these. Doing more research to seeing how my system will deal with it. Looking at running 125ml of pellets in the reactor
