After starting with a Biocube 29 last January, I ended up getting twp Nuvo 38's. I have kept one up and transferred the other and it's contents into my new pride and joy. I went with the complete system from Elos. It's about 94 gallons with a 30 gallon sump. I am using a Reef Octopus skimmer (instead of the Elos skimmer) rated for up to 180 gallons and a phosban reactor. The package came with an ATO as well. I went with the black cabinet, instead of the white. For lighting, I went with two AI Hydra's, mounted with AI EXT rail system. Out of the box, it actually has very good flow, but I added an MP 40 for dead spots. I am just trying to figure out the best UV sterilizer for this system (if anyone has any recommendations, please let me know).

Soap fish looks pretty awesome. Just watch out for the other livestock you have planned on the first post. It could try to make a meal of them.

As long as he can't fit them, he cant eat them lol. But seriously, they're all slightly smaller them him.

Of course as pictured it is still small. So for now your ok. Just giving a heads up when it hits 6". Soap fish have an amazing ability to swallow things a lot larger than themselves, much like a grouper. But keep the updates coming. Did you get the golden angel get? It's definitely a favorite of mine.
