Do you have a sump/fuge system? ... In middle chamber. I did the standard remove bioballs add live rock and some cheato. scraped the paint off the back wall(they so kindly come stock this way now) and put a plant grow light back there. I also use the stock skimmer that they offer with these.. It works but could work alot better.

Looks awesome, i really like the variety of corals you are keeping. You mentioned the light upgrade, what kind of PC bulbs are you running?

I have a 10k corallife, a corallife Actinic, then i got another Actinic and 50/50 from nanotuners with the mod not sure what brand they are. I think when i replace the bulbs i will use 2 actinic and 2 10k.. So thats 2 36 watt actinic 1 36 watt 50/50 136 watt 10k

I would say there is at least..25-30lbs of live rock in the tank(plus some in the middle chamber). The pump is stock i never saw a reason to replace it. As far as power heads other than the stock pump all i have is a jbj submariner uv sterilizer (5watt).

I got the whole nine yards when i up graded the lights ,i also got their moon light upgrade the fan upgrade, and the fan controller upgrade. I will say that NANOTUNERS has kick a@# customer serevice i had to call twice during installation(instruction are only available on a you tube video and i had no internet acess)and srry cant rember his name but he was the man!!:D They also forgot to ship my moonlight's. I called and they shiped out within a day.2 thumbs up from me.

Im so sorry it took so long to respond, here are (crappy) pics of my back chambers and the back panel of my tank. http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/fenderguy1/DSC00642.jpg http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/fenderguy1/DSC00643.jpg And a few new shots of the cube. Alot has changed I removed 90% of my mushrooms and put them in another tank, along with a large pice of my waving hand and all three xenia's i had. Well one sliver of zenia remains:rolleye1: I also just picked up a blasto colony with 4 colors, over 150 heads.Enjoy http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/fenderguy1/DSC00748.jpg http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/fenderguy1/DSC00743.jpg
