The18"cube

[outtafocus]

I have finally decided I should tell everyone about my system.
-18" cube approx 25gal
-150W Hamilton HQI pendant with 14000K bulb
-Oceanic 30g cube tank stand in maple
-Approx 30lbs of really nice live rock(Tonga?)
-AquaC Remora skimmer with MJ1200 PH
-Aquaclear 110 running as a hang on refugium
-Tunze Osmolator auto top off
-A SEIO 620 and MJ1200 for circulation


Currently I dont have much for live stock in this tank, just a few snails, an emerald crab and a porcelain crab (which I rarely see)
I am undecided if I should run bare bottom or sand. I really like the look of sand, but love the ease of cleaning a barebottom offers. My girlfriend really wants sand, so I will probably have to listen to her.

In the near future I will be loosing the Aquaclear and replacing it with a hang on over flow siphon box attached to a small sump/refugium which is the be home to my new Coralife Superskimmer.

When I figure out how to make my pictures small enough I will begin to post some photos.
