KRAUSE's 60 gallon cube

[KRAUSE]

Hi everyone, I knew I had to register when I saw the Club Cube section! (great idea)
I have been in the hobby since I was 11 (3 years ago). This tank is a recent upgrade from a standard dimension 29 gallon. I have a mix of SPS and LPS and I am undecided about which direction I want to take the tank in...
I feed my corals with PhytoPlan and ZoPlan every other day. The opposite days I feed my fish.
Fish:
2 blue/green chromis
1 Juvenile Maroon clown
1 Tanaka's pygmy wrasse (possum wrasse)

If anyone has question or feed back, please feel free to post!

Very nice, I like the arches and rock work. It's going to look great once your corals fill in.

My current skimmer is a eshopps psk 100 HOB, it overflowed on to the carpet. I have decided to upgrade to an in-sump skimmer. I want to stay under $250 if possible. So far I like the Euro reef RS-80 and the SWC 120 cone. Which would you prefer? Any other suggestions?
Thanks

First post, last pic, the rock all the way to the left looks like a grumpy teddy bear with that reflection :xd:.
Tank and aquascaping look nice.

I've been running an SWC 120 for about a year now and love it. Very easy to adjust and maintain.

That's a great start to your tank and you've done a very good job with the pictures.

nice looking tank...i have a swc 150, but i think the 120 cone would be good for that tank, or the 150

Thanks, I think I am going to buy the swc 150 tomorrow.

Good call. I have the 160 cone and love it. I think you'll be very happy with yours.

I just bought the SWC BMK 150. It is estimated to arrive on Wednesday. I will take pictures and make updates on the skimmers performance.
