Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

Ok. So flow and maybe halfway to upper third of my tank, right?

I think theyre fairly tolerant to different levels of lighting but would personally err to towards the mid to lower portion to allow for growth upwards. Assuming it's a photsynthetic species that is.

This guy is telling me he needs an SPS

So far he hangs out mostly at the base of a small leather. The leather has grown from a small remnant of another that I had mounted in that spot over a year and a half ago so its about the size of matchbox. Kinda neat. I think it was in the shot I posted up yesterday.

I'm thinking about an SPS for him to hang out in. Gonzo loved the staghorn skeleton. Besides, I want to scape upward some.

Montipora digitata. Maybe a forest fire... those are pretty hardy and don't need SUPER powerful lights, but still I'd place it at the top of your rocks.

Good suggestion, Grow like crazy when they're happy too.

That and being in a lid, they are a LOT closer to the water than the 12-18" some people run their LEDs to get spread and even color blending(I'm talking to you Ecotech, cough cough). You should be fine with SPS.
