Davids 35 gal cube 20x20x20

[DSP]

Hey everyone ill be updating my 35 gallon cube build here,Havent acualy started settng the tank up yet because im in the process of moving to a new house right now,In about a week or so ill begin setting up the tank.I did start buying supplies and equipment for the build ill post pics below.Im a big metal halide fan have used them for 2 years now and will continue to use them on my larger tank, but i wanted to try out leds and see what there like so today i bought a ai nano from a friend whos also a member here at reef2reef "Ronnie". Ill be putting the ai nano over this cube,I do plan on keeping some sps so if the ai nano cant keep them colored up and growing then ill probaly add one more ai nano over the tank.
Also picked up a reefkeeper lite
I was anxous to see if the one ai nano would have good spread over a 20x20x20 cube so i decided to fill the cube with water and test it out on my kitchen counter lol.Happy to say the spread from just one ai nano led looks great! Very excited to see how this light performs on this tank.If any of you guys have this light pleas link me your build thread i would love to see how its doing for you.Any recomendations and comments are welcomed thanks! Also put a temporary background behind the tank real quick lolol

My anemone moved off the shell it came on,I'm happy with where it went I think it's there to stay.i did have to move a couple rocks around after he moved though lol.
