Re-starting my cube!!

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 

I had this 29g cube( don't remember if its a JBJ or Oceanic) set up for a few years, then after I sold my 150g had it set up for the mushrooms and such I kept out of that tank and had to take it down after that as I was going to school 12+ hours a day...

 

Now we are moving cross country and I want to set it up and keep some corals (LPS, maybe some SPS) until we find a permanent home and I buy a larger tank.

 

Now, I am wanting to get a MH (I'll probably order the inexpensive Odyssea) and keep only 1 or 2 small fish. I REALLY like the little possum wrasses!

My biggest question is I have never had a skimmer for it, and will def. want one..any not so expensive suggestions?

 

Here are some old pictures of it...

This is what I had in it before :(

I'm going to take the hood off and possible screen the top (depends on the fish)

Okay so, so far im thinking possum wrasse & a goby or blennie? maybe a watchmand goby, I loved my last one so much!

 

as far as LPS I would want acans, candycanes, button coral, maybe some favites??

and now im thinking about a clam :)

 

Figuring if I have a 150 watt MH fixture I should be pretty good...

Hello...... I love the possum wrasse idea as far as the coral choices. The clam however, I think it may be a tad soon for that. Maybe in 6 months to a year.

I too had a similar set up you are wanting and I really enjoyed my lil hippy colony.
