Start of my Cube

[workn4frags]

O.K. here are some pics. First off I'd like to thank everyone for the help with choosing the lights and controller.

The main display is 180G ( 48x48x18 ) with the 75G frag tank on the left (not lit yet) The lights are on a rail on the ceiling so I can move it out of the way to work on the tank.

I am running the following

EuroReef - modded 8" dia. x 30" tall dual recirculated skimmer.
30" Ca Reactor (can't remember the name off hand) older from E-bay
4x 250W Radiums on e-ballast and LumenMax reflectors

I am not finished with the system yet. I am waiting for the Phosphate reactor, controller and a replacement bulb ( one broke in shipping ) thats why only 2 of the lights are on.

The rock has been in the system for a little over 3 mos. now and the parameter are all stable
Ca - 420
dKh - 12
pH - 8.2

I plan on adding the SPS from my soft system over this weekend.

I've got a closed loop in the rock work running 2 LG 4MDQX-SC, I also plan on putting some Tunze Streams when I can afford it.

some pics of the corals added

Here is a pic of the front shot and the side shot along with a couple of coral pics.

Side shot

Ponape Seriatopora, Idaho Grape and Green milli. The Clown had to be in the pic.

Alot of my SPS went brown because they've been in with my softs for about 3-4 months, and the H2O quality of that system is not what it should be for the SPS. They should all come back in time.

I should have the other 2 bulbs on monday, according to UPS... The I will move over some more corals to fill the back or the right side in the pic. above. Than I can concentrate on getting the frag tank in the background lit and make some frags.

Thanks all for the kind words and I will post close ups as soon as I can figure how to use my wifes D70. I may have to just not buy a few corals so I can get a macro lens...
