Thanks! I'm in CO for business this week but I'll definitely post some pics when I get back home. I'm excited to put my new top on the Biocube and see how that looks.

Home is Gilbert, AZ btw

Hi R2R Peeps, been lurking for a while so figured it's time to say hello.

I'm pretty new to this but already seriously feeling the addiction. I started about 6 months ago with an IM Fusion Nano 10 tank (that was all I could get the wife to agree to at the time haha). I have a pretty good LFS with some really helpful and knowledgeable staff, plus been reading a ton of the posts on here so thanks for that!

My IM Fusion 10 Build:

Base tank
Stock pump
IM Media Shelf with Fiber Balls, Coarse GFO Pouch and ROX Carbon Pouch
Kessil A80 light
1inch sand bed
1 live rock
Livestock:
2 clowns, cleanup crew w/hermits - from Reef Cleaners , 3 small coral frags from my LFS (1x Zoa, 1x Goniopora, 1x Xenia)

This tank has been running about 6 months and for the most part everything seems happy although I have achieved from what I can tell about zero growth on any of the corals. They are open and extended and appear happy but just have stayed on their frags so far. One struggle I have had with it is crazy amounts of algae growth but I'm hoping my new cleanup crew is going to help with that.

I started a second tank about 2 months ago, which is a Biocube 32. For that one I ordered a custom replacement top from Octo Aquatics. Haven't installed it yet cause I'm still debating what light I want to put on it. Any suggestions anyone has about that would be appreciated. Looking at the AI Prime 16 HD but wondering if just one of those is enough.

Anyway happy to be joining the community. Love your posts and pictures

First off Welcome!!

Second, I am running a 29g biocube and after a lot of research I'm going with that ai prime hd. Looking at the par for the depth of our tank it will grow sps in top half, but as a cone top side wont work. And Lps should grow great at the bottom. I found this but I plan to prop mine up a little.
