Default My new 50 gallon cube

Just thought I'd post a couple of pictures of my three month old 50 gallon cube before I have to move it again. Sorry about the picture quality, I had to borrow a camera and didn't have time to mess around with it. This tank has all of the corals from my previous 110 gallon cube, though some have been significantly trimmed back.

Looking in from the right side.



Looking in from the left side.



Top, where most of the SPS is found.



Bottom where most of the LPS and softies are found.

Thanks everyone. For the past three months I've been staying with family in BC. Now that our Calgary home has sold, and our purchase out here is finalized, I'm moving again. Not really looking forward to the move, but at least I'll have my family back.

Once I'm established in the new place I'll start thinking about adding on to this system. Maybe even propagating for the locals since the pickn's are slim out here.

Wow, sure will be good to have the family back...and the freedom to do aquarium stuffs without the worry of inconveniencing your hosts! Regardless, awesome tank....and the Castlegar locals should be excited about your future supply of frags

Hey - we'll call you Snappy Junior! Or maybe a Coral Master franchise?

Nice family to let you set your tank up while staying with them.

**bites tounge**

My wife's family is great. They gave me my own room, where the tank is as well. They've taken a bit of interest in the hobby, as well as some of their friends. There's a keen interest in general about this hobby out here, I guess because it would still be considered new in this area. Whatever business I involve myself in should do well. Or should I say, could do well depending on the ecomony.
