Default Pictures of my new cube

Thought I would post a couple of pictures of my 24"X18"X18" cube. The front and back are starfire. The lighting in the picture is a 175W pendant supplemented with a 65W PC Actinic. Don't be concerned about the colour as it is a crappy camera.

I sold a bunch of zoos in Edmonton, so in effect the Edmonton folks bought the tank for me, and I did thank them profusely.

Hmmm... looks pretty good for a non-SPS tank (brown fuzzy sticks don't count).

Who built the tank?

The tank was built by whoever builds tanks for Ocean Aquarium. I found out something interesting when I was cutting the black trim to accommodate some hang on stuff. It is eurobraced under the trim.

And when did the presence of SPS dictate whether a tank looks good, or not IMVHO a tank looks better without SPS.

How thick is the glass, what did it cost you, and did you have a choice of silicone colour?

1/4 inch, none of your concern, and I did not ask.
