so these are supposed to be a tri-color but it's really brown what should I do to help it color up guys . Water clarity is not as good as I want it to be so I'm gonna be running my reactor with some gfo/activated carbon . Any thoughts ?

If you are still looking for a sump you should look into the Eshopps medium cube refugium sump. I have the nano and really like it. I would have gone with the medium but I found a good deal local on the nano. My next choice would have been a trigger 18 cube but I didn't like that the diving sections were clear. Everything else I've found in cube sump choices were quite a bit more money.

So another question I like to add , since I am going on the sps route anyone have any advice on equipment, routine product to use for feeding and dosing if need be for now I'm gonna be doing weekly water changes as needed. I want to be successful keeping my cube healthy and colorful.

So decided to give aquaforest a try. I've heard good things I'm using the reef salt for water changes , coral a, coral b , ad vitality and ad energy. I'll be keeping track of changes as they happen

It's a SC 50g starfire 24x24x24 cube. It was difficult to find something to use as a sump so I ended up getting a 10g for now I will be getting a sumo to fit the stand and a large enough space for the skimmer . I'm open to suggestions [emoji51]

What stand did you go with?

I actually bought it off someone that lived near me , he found out I was looking into this particular tank and he happened to have one but the stand as far as I know came with the tank as a package

So haven't been posting because of my busy schedule at work and promotions and stuff but , during that time I've had a few set backs . Ich killed off my fish in two days of symptoms showing up did a water test and found out my nitrates were high and my phosphates were off the roof. My sps died off but my elegance and scans and Zoas made it through now I'm just fighting to get everything back on track [emoji20]
