Nice! I need to hide my MP40 cables but haven't thought up a good solution yet.

Yeah that's why I made the tank with dry boxes to hide the mp 40 wires.

Jeorge your tank looks great. I follow you a lot on larc. I too have a small cubeish tank it is 40w x36d x22t . I have many times tried to convince myself to drop down to a 40 breeder just as you did , or buy a tank that is a bit wider for a little larger fish . You see my tank is acrylic and has a lot of fine scratches. I think they can be buffed out . Time will tell . I see tanks like yours and makes me think , I like it, and mine as well .since I know you have went down the DIY light as well as the radian I would love to ask you a few questions on the cube lighting as I have found it difficult at best to light them . I currently use a 400w metal halide . I have purchased about a 100 led and 4 small heatsink I was thinking this and my supplement with 3 T5 39w bulbs mainly for color .the LEDs are for a full color spectrum . Thanks for the inspiration to keep this tank and move foward

Thank you Mike. Send me a pm on larc any time I'll try and help the best I can. The scratches can be buffed out on the tank. May next tank would be a 4x4 cube.

I like them but they are difficult to catch a fish that needs to be removed . I had a dragon wrasse that took most of a day and removing all the rock to get.

It's been a while since I did an update on the tank. Had some issue with the reef flakes so I started to remove it and added some rock to the existing scape and I'll add the new sand next week.
