Sweet.... no fair though stocking from your 90 bumping the cycle and all....
LOL
Looks awesome... question is that an orange finger sponge in one of your pics? Also what kinds of power heads are those in your cube tank?

Thanks
I love the zoo colony. I'll definately try to get a shot of it tomorrow blooming.
Should I go with 20 or 30lbs LS?
Well its prob too late now but 25lbs of sand in a 29gal cube gives you about 1-1/2" deep SB. FWIW.

Lol,thanks fishermon. I will be getting my cube sometime in May. I am trying to hold out but it is getting harder with me visiting my LFS every other day
I am already addicted to this hobby, and I have yet to buy one thing for it
Can you post a FTS of your 90 for us all to ogle over

It's a Red Tree Sponge. I was going to order a orange tree sponge for the cube, but swf.com ran out of them.
I guess I'll try to get my lfs to get one for me.
Last night I placed swf.com order. I requested it ship Monday because I'm off Tuesday & can acclimate everything. I ended up getting 2 b&w perc clowns, a blackcap dottyback, a neon goby, 10 scarlets, 10 blue legs ( also got 50 empty shells), 1 fire shrimp, a purple yuma, 10 nass. snails & 10 turbos ( some of these will go in my 90), 2 porcelain crabs, 3 emeralds ( may just put 1 in the cube), a Blue Linckia (putting in my 90 until I get some algae growing in the cube), and a Cleaner Clam for the fuge on my 90.
Cube should be here today!
Thinking about taking vacation day Friday to play!
PerfectDark-For flow In my 90 I'm using 2 Koralia 4's, a modded maxi-jet 900, a modded maxi-jet 600, and a maxi-jet 1200 with a hydor spinner. Everything but the hydor is hooked to a red sea micrprocessor wavemaker. Pretty good flow IMHO for my tank.
Subie-I'll try to post a FTS tonight.
Thanks everyone for your comments, help, and interest in my addiction.

So my lfs calls me at work & tells me my tank is in.
After work I go to pick it up & the box had a sign taped to it saying "SAMPLE".
You could tell the box had been opened ( it had been taped twice ). I decided to open it at the lfs to look it over.
There was no hood & lights, no ballasts, no plug for the moonlights, no pump, no drip tray or bio balls, and no paperwork.
The only thing in the box was the tank.
I immediatley called Nick @ Oceanic. He was gone for the day so I left him a voicemail informing him of the situation. In the message I told him I had a big order coming in & I need the cube shipped Friday overnight for Saturday delivery. I need the tank asap! After what I've gone through they better accomidate me!
I can't believe this. I have always considered Oceanic the "premier" line of tanks. I'm starting to have second thoughts. Hopefully 3rd time is the charm.

I am soooo sorry! Wow! I hope that Oceanic pulls through for you in time! But in the meantime... WHO in the world would give you a replacement tank clearly labled "SAMPLE"???

My lfs did'nt even see the sign on the box. It was sitting in a corner where the delivery guy left it waiting on me to pick it up.
LFS said they don't order these directly from Oceanic, but from a distributer. I guess a bunch of crkheads work there.
I'm so pssd off! Not to mention worried to death about this big order coming in! I can't put it in my 90, as my bioload is enough already. Not to mention I'd never get everything out of there.
I'm just crossing my fingers that this Nick guy w/cust. service does me right & gets the cube here Saturday.
Wish me luck!

When your stress level is down, I have a question about your 90. You said:

Everything I have read says you can't use Koralias or modded Maxi-jets with a wavemaker like the Red Sea. The reasons are they make a lot of noise, and will burn up the phs quickly. How are yours doing?
