terry's 25g starfire cube. new pics jan 30/10

[the marine apprentice]

so after pulling countless number of hairs from my head trying to figure out how to load pics up on here i finally figured it out. so now i will start my journal for my 25g starfire cube that i purchased from john(lobsterboy) back in the summer. i am going to be going sumpless on this one with a prizm skimmer, one maxijet 1200 and an aquaclear 110 modded to be a refuge.
all my rock that is i the cube was from my 90g teardown so it is very much full of life and all kins of cool little critters.
for a light right now i am just useing my 48in 4x54w sundial just until i can sell it and afford to buy a 6 or 8 bulb 24in t5ho unit. so if anyone out there has one of these lights kickin around and need a 48 in with timers built in id gladly trade.
if i dont go with that style of light i will set up my 150w k2 viper and get a retro fit kit for some 24in t5's.

[the marine apprentice]

this is the tank when i first got it from john. thanx buddy

this is the original set up i was going to go with for the cube but decided to tear that down and do it alot different and have it on my desk in my office

this is half of the rock i had to look through and pick out certain pieces for my cube.

and this is what i came up with

then some live sand

and now when it is clear

an comments would be great as i am still thinking of a new way to light this thing up plus i want to get 2 smaller korilias, maybe k1 and a k2. would love to get a vortech mp10 saw one in action a while ago and want one badly but i guess santa didnt think i was a good boy this year haha

[Skimmerking]

looks good man. what about taking the powerheads out and using just hte AC500 there for the flow

[the marine apprentice]

well i am looking to get a korilia 1 and a korilia 2 for it are you talking about my diy fuge i got on the side? its an a620 on that one and i was thinking that i would be able to get away with just a K1 and the fuge might be enough but wasnt sure.

whats your opinion
