So heres the deal I found a perfect piece of LR, possible the coolest one I have ever seen. Well to say the least I am thinking of making another SW tank, but here is the catch I dont want to spend thousands of dollars for it. So here goes.
Specs:
- 18x18x18 corner overflow (Custom made of 1/2 inch acrylic) 25 gallons
- 2 65w PC compacts (not really needed cuz its not going to be really a reef)
- 1 sweet ass piece of LR and 20lbs of maybe black sand
- Custom stand and Canopy
- Small sump with auto top off
- CPR backpak skimmer (hangon)
All for what you ask? ..... cost of acrylic probably about 100 to 200 bucks I have all the other stuff.
What might you ask am I going to put in this tank you might ask?
This Baby
Tada.... The Possible cube tank build thread

That is a sweet piece of rock, I wouldnt want a mantis shrimp ruining it though. I think the tank build is a great idea, but not for a mantis shrimp even though they are beautiful.
Thats just me.
