So I just got this 16 gallon cube tank for my home office. What you guys think of my aqua scape? I went with caribsea black sand just to try it out. Just got my rodi system setup with the help of Robert "Adrock". Let me know what you guys think. In the back I'm running a foam filter, carbon, and bio rings. With a tiny rio return pump.

Thanks! I let the wife scape the tank with extra pieces from my 110 gallon system sump. Had to let her scape it to let me get another tank. Happy wife = happy "reefer" hubby![/QUOTE]

This is looking at the tank while sitting at my desk. Has a small little ledge. She did a great job. I'm really happy the way it turned out. And keep in mind this is extra rock that was in my sump. Now I have to go get a slightly bigger return pump as this little jebo ap1000 is a little to slow.

Open to ideas of what to keep in the tank. Something easy that doesn't require fancy lighting. I know the wife wants me to put a clown fish but I think the tank is to small.

What kind if light do you have? A nice Nem would be sweet in there.. Although I've got 7 and one of my clown pairs hosts a paly colony... Growing up the back wall! Lol

She wants to get one of those fancy clown pairs. And also try to find something that can host them. I'm trying to figure out exactly what to stock in the tank before hand.
Ellis aquatic just stocked up on designer fish and acans. I am also doing a 16g IM and thinking of clownfish and bubble anemone with acans

(2) 10,000K Daylight Lamps, (2) 6,700K Mid-day lamps, (1) 460NM Blue Lamp.

Those are the specs for my light on my tank. What coral am I going to be able to keep and grow?

Your good with everything I'll be careful with sps. But what watts do you have? Depending on watts it will help with penetration. Maybe someone more experience can answer you're question. But I think you can grow anything
