GoBlue44 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 looks like it has tons of potential to be a nice tank. keep us posted. Link to comment
Weetabix7 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Hmm, some elements of our contest tanks will be similar. I also have a 10" cube, and I have a custom LED fixture that I will be putting over it as well. Let the games begin!!! Link to comment

I'm kinda curious to see how different they become. I am shooting to be able to keep ANYTHING. Link to comment
Weetabix7 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 It will be interesting to see your "methodology". One difference I can see between us already is that I have some very specific plans for exactly what corals I will have in my tank. Link to comment

Only corals I know for sure are some acans, acros, and some z's & p's that I like. Link to comment
