Is that a UFO landing in the corner of your room? :)

Looks great. Would like to see a full tank shot if poss.:) and a pic of the sump would be nice.
Thanks

[dantheman]

Lol, it is usually, dont actually know why its not in that pic. Good old electric recliner and a few beers, just sit back and watch the tank... :)

Does look pretty bright, can never get the light balance right, shame my pictures are so bad.

P.S. Its only a single 400w 14k halide, the pic above is more lifelike :)

[Blue]

thats a great light for that size tank. you looking at keeping SPS later?:confused:

[dantheman]

Hi there Chris

Hi Guys, :)

Thanks a lot, its going well at the moment. I've taken it steady with the stocking and havent added anything in about three months in order to let things settle faster.

All the softies came from frags (mostly from one member) and are now nicely growing out into larger colonies. I am trying to stick with a smaller number of species in order to create a more realistic and authentic outcrop. IME this also reduces the amount of chemical warefare.

The Comets a real character, always out (even under a 400w) looking for food. Great fish :)

Thanks for the comments
Dan

[Gillybaby]

Wow, really really nice tank Dan. I really like cube tanks.

Excellent Dan.

That purple fish looks like Eric in a good mood!

Is the tank a Cube?

[dantheman]

Thanks :)

Lol, I'm guessing you mean the hawkfish?

Well, not strictly a cube, but I call it a cube. Its 36" x 36" x 28". :)

Regards
Dan

[MR Teee]

Yeah I'm crap at identifying fish from photos. Rely on books to look up latin names in!

[QUOTE=MR Teee;12388]Excellent Dan.

Cheeky Bu--er Adam i am not as happy as that fish. :) LOL Eric

[callum_parsons]

thats a great tank

[dantheman]

Thanks for the kind comments guys :)

Always thinking of what to add next, there are a few things so I suppose it depends upon which one of them I see first. :p

[Kev]

[Tangman]

lol. Can't say I have ever seen Eric in a bad mood. :)

[reefbloke]

Lovely cube Dan!Looking better every time i see it.:)

[oakwell]

tank looks great

[moorish]

nice looking cube dan fish all look well. i have 2 4oow 20,000k lights on my tank whats the 14,000k like.derek

[dantheman]

Thanks for the kind words everyone :)

The 14k is very attractive to me. It gives a lovely clean look and the water always looks clear, makes the glass look blue and more like starphire which is great, and all corals are growing very well so I think they're great :) Would recomend them to anyone.

Dan
