130G Starfire Cube Build

[xiaan]

So here is an update. All is well except Roale Gramma seems to be MIA  I have not seen him since Friday.
This weekend I got another ATI Sunpower and I built a box for it to sit on (I am still planning on building a hood)
I am panning on being busy or away during the holidays so I will probably be doing some aquascaping in the new year.

I also picked up a couple of corals and brought up some from my fag tank.

Here some is a FTS with the all the lights on.

Ya'all been busy very nice setups!

[Rybren]

Hmm, I could have sworn that I recently saw a post stating that you were getting out of the hobby due to being away from home too much. (this was a day or so after I saw you shopping for more corals)

Gotta stop drinking 

BTW, the tank is looking great!

I think you are getting the Christians confused
