looks great, nicely done. Some nice eye candy in that BioCube!

Thought that i would give a little update on new additions to the tank.

Hardware wise I installed a JBJ ATO which drives a Tom's aqualifter sucking water out of a gallon of water which I melted the cap so i could feed a black hose into. And since installing my Panorama Pro Modules I have not had any moonlights so I decided to buy myself the R2 Solutions Dual Extreme LED Moonlights and retrofit them under my plastic cover.

Coral wise I bought a ORA ponape birdsnest and some more zoas to add to my collection. A few of the zoas are True Green people eaters, Captian America paly, x-lunar destroyers, and also a head of rastas.

Pictures to come maybe tommorow when my lights turn on tomorrow

Very pretty. On those second to last picture you have brown and light green zoas on the bottom right, where did you get those from/ do you have a name? I have two small colonies in my tank and I absolutely love them.

Those I won on an ebay auction I didn't get a name for them since they were just listed as deepwater Zoas but the shop that made the listing was Austin Aqua Farms. They are a very nice looking coral smaller than I thought they were but still one of my favs also.

Matt is really general on his listings in regards to specific names. He's got some really beautiful stock.
