The 40g Coral Cube
 
So, I've rarely put pictures of my tank up because, well... I always see everyone else's tank and I kinda look at mine forlornly. That being said, I love my tank and in the pictures below you might realize I REALLY like corals. I still have a few nooks and crannies I can fill with coral but it's pretty full:razz:

I'll get some better pics up in time so please forgive the iPhone pics. Here are some of my favourites.

I really like the conch one too. I have 10 conchs and have had them for about a year and a half. Love the variety of corals you have in there.

I like the sense of depth you get with the big softie up front.

Hey, hey, hey... some of us have gotta work around here :razz:

Thanks guys! I appreciate the feed back. There is definitely a large assortment of corals in there. I've got a ric garden, milli forest, rolling fields of montis... it's a bonanza!:razz:

The tank is a 40g cube-ish (24"x24"x16") which until recently was running a Coralife 150W MH running a Phoenix 14K. Just recently switched to a Coralife 250W MH with a Pheonix 14K. I haven't had much time or money (mostly because it goes to corals) to finalize my sump... but it's coming very soon.

Skimmer: CPR BakPak 2 with mods
Filter: Aquaclear HOB

It's really a very basic system. My engineering genes, though they want to nerd out and pimp the tank, tell me that simplicity means I have less to go wrong. So far it works pretty well as long as I am on top of the husbandry.

I will take more pics in the light but here is a parting night time shot (wow, doesn't look nearly as nice as it does on my iPhone).
