Wes's cube build

Thanks guys. Well it has been about a week and the only loss from my CO2 mishap was a wild sps frag I got from the LFS.
Neuro - I am old school, 2x250W Radium MH with 2x36" VHO super actinic
 
Awesome cube! Great coral and fish selection!!

Wow!!! Awesome tank and corals dude! What are your NO3 and PO4 levels and what do you advise for getting such good colour?
 
Thanks everyone :)

Sahin, I don't test for NO3 and PO4 so I'm not sure what my levels are. Here is a basic rundown of what I do, 20% water change every two weeks, I use Seachem ReefSalt, I run 2x250W radium 20k and 2x96W VHO super actinic. VHO are on 12hrs and MH run from 11am-4pm. I run a CalRx and check my ALK twice a week and adjust accordingly with Seachem reef builder. I run GFO and carbon 24/7. I feed about 1/8tsp of pellet three times a day via an automatic feeder and frozen daily (1 cube of mysis and 1 cube of spirulina soaked brine shrimp). I think my colors come from my light combo. Out of all the tanks I have seen, the colors that appeal to me always came from tanks with 20k MH with VHO supplementation.
 
Thanks. I really like your cube. Especially the flaming bugatti :dribble:

Beautiful tank! I also have a 36 x 36 x 30 cube, and I am thinking about re-aquascaping it, you've given me some great inspiration! Keep up the good work!
 
Thanks :)
