Hi Everyone!

This is the start of my build thread. I will be making updates and changes. This is not my first reef but my fourth reef build. I have downsized my 105g with 18g frag tank to a 30g JBJ Nano Cube. I bought this tank at Macna for a great price.

(Corals from the show is FS. They are colonies sizes. Asking $25 each! A friend is holding them at the moment as my tank is to small for those pieces)
