It's going to be a mixed reef but mostly sps. I have a school of 5 Threadfin Cardinals to go in it and I'm going to pick up a couple Bangaii Cardinals this week. I also have several small inverts, 3 sexy shrimp, 2 nano cleaner shrimp, purple porcelin crab, pom pom crab and I did have a bumble bee shrimp but it managed to escape from my in-tank refugium in my 90g and now I can't find it . Oh yeah, I almost forgot I also have a Gumdrop Coral Croucher that I NEVER see that will go in the tank, it lives inside the live rock almost all the time.

Anyone else have a cube of similar size? I'm wondering what you're using for flow? I like the Vortech but I'm not so sure it's the right pump for this tank. I'm thinking two Tunze Turbelle Nanostream 6055 would be the better choice or adding another vortech as a slave pump. The only part I wouldn't like about adding another vortech is that I would have to pull my tank out from the wall to fit the motor on the back and right now my tank sits flush with the dividing wall it's on. I think the vortech would be great if I could put it in the center on the back wall but there's zero room for a dry box in the overflow.

The Phoenix bulb arrived today. I have to say thanks to Ocean Aquatics for such great service. It was shipped out same day, arrived super fast and was packaged so well.
I'm so impressed at the drastic improvement the bulb has made on the tank, wow!
