Pnoy's lil Cube ...

[pnoyreefer]

I am in the process of getting a small cube ready for next yr. As some of you might know me from other forum like Reefcentral . I don't know what next yr will be like since I have another baby girl coming . I barely have time right now with my 4 yr old daughter and a 9 months old son and for sure don't really want to quit the hobby. Some corals are not easy to get .. Well I will update you as we go along with pictures and progression of this cube. I hope that I will get some input as well as advises..

The Acans are on the rocks and some in a plug. Some of them I bought in as colonies. The large rock no Idea maybe 15x10.. Its really nice and large .. Im planning on stocking it with SPS in the future...
