I'm trying to leave the tank along and keep my hands out of it. I have a few frags I want to trade for some zoas but thats about it. I feel like I'm already running out of room so if I just let it be I'll be happy.
However, I did just add a maxijet 1200 to one of the corners where you can't see it. I set it on a random 1 minute cycle every random 30 minutes using the Aqua Controller Jr. I had it laying around and I figured a blast of random flow can't hurt.
Anyone have any feedback of what I should or could change?

Well the tank isn't that old and almost all the corals are from my old tank I had to tear down to build a nursery for my son. I did all the rock work in a few hours and completely tore down the 55 gallon and moved everything over to the 60 gallon cube in 1 day. I had my wife take a bunch of pictures while I was building the rockscape but the files were corrupt and I was only able to save just these few.
Tank full over water and ready to go...

I found a great deal onilne a bought the Solana complete setup minus the lighting and bought the Ecoxotic Panorama LED light fixture for $1650 shipped. (I thought an amazing deal)
Tank: 60 Gallon Solana XL Cube
Lighting: Ecoxotic Panorama LED Fixture 24" + 2 Actinic Modular strips + 1 Actinic Stunner Strip + 1 Blue Moon Light (8 strips total = 96 LEDs)
Sump: Solana Sump w/ sock filter and carbon bag
Skimmer and Fuge: CPR Large Combo
ATO: AGA w/ 10gal reservoir
Flow: K4 power head (always on), Maxi jet (random on/off), and return pump
Livestock: Everything from my established 55gal. Only lost a start fish in the move.
It's 24x24x24. Really wish I could have fit a 30x30x30 in my place. Oh well...

Got bored and took a new FTS and video of the tank. I was hoping the baby Naso I just got was going to smaller so I could keep him longer. But I'll have to find a new home for him soon - he's 3" now. Anyone looking for a beautiful Naso?

Very nice tank! Welcome to R2R and thanks for sharing with us...:bigsmile:
I am growing fond of the cube tanks with the rock pillar in the middle. If I could get the Mrs. to agree on another tank....hmmmm

Those are your fish. The baby Naso and Yellow tang.
I know the feeling. I'm lucky I got away with what I have.
