My Biocube 14G

Well I just started this tank a week ago and figured I'd take some pictures! Right now I just have 15lbs of live sand and about 18lbs of live rock in it. I've been testing throughout the week and it just completed it's cycle so I'll be picking up a CUC very soon.
This tank is completely stock at the moment except I took out the bioballs out of chamber 2 and replaced them with live rock. I also have a 150w Sunpod coming as we speak so this will be a nice lighting upgrade. Here are a couple of pics I took:



Went a little crazy with the purple expoxy compund we used for the LR. Oh well, hopefully it'll get covered up as time goes on!

Can you spot the hitchhiker in this one?? It's a small brittle star.

I also removed the heater you see in this picture to chamber 1 so has a cleaner look to it now.
Tell me what you think! I'll add more pics when we add the CUC!

Here are a couple updated pics. Since my last post I've added some life to the tank as well as some new equipment.
Livestock:
1 Red Scarlet Hermit Crab
4 Nessarius Snails
4 Trochus Snails
1 Cleaner Shrimp
1 False Percula Clownfish
1 Dragon Goby
New Equipment:
20" 150w Sunpod
Koralia Nano
I'll take some pictures of the livestock when the daytime lights are on, but here are a few pics with the moonlights on.

Red Flowerpot - I think it was dying at the lfs when I got it although I am seeing new polyps on it.

Here are some updated pics. Only change I've made in equipment is the MH lamp. I put in a Phoenix 14k and I'm loving it.

Just went to the LFS last night and didn't plan on getting anything....but that's impossible for me! So I got some Sun Polyps and some more zoas.

Looks great! The MH light really makes everything pop more. I want to upgrade my lights so bad.
Make sure you keep the sun polyps fed very regularly or they will die. They are non-photosynthetic and harder to keep. Post pics when you can of them :)
