What should I do with a 45 cube, RC?
My dad is getting me a 45 cube (24x24x18) as an early b-day present, as well as for staining the deck. I don't know what I want to do with it other than being something unique that I won't do in the 120 reef I am setting up.
Clown and nem tank? Small lion/scorp macro tank? Other ideas?

Kyle, I think that tank would make a pretty sweet seahorse tank.

I have much to ponder now. Right now I am leaning towards a NPS pred reef with a fu man chu lionfish, yellow-spotted scorpion, and a redfin waspfish pair. Of course various NPS. I may just do a macro tank for ease of care that way, but who knows. Please keep the ideas coming!

Seahorse/non-photosynthetic tank
Gorgonians for the horses, with scattered Suncorals and Dendronephthea. You wouldn't have to worry about expensive lighting. You would probably want a beast of a skimmer though since these corals and horses need to be fed a lot, preferably constantly. Due to the feeding needs it may also be necessary to start culturing your own live food.

Great choice in tanks. I would do a tank that is meant to be seen from above as much as from the sides. Acros and clams come to mind.

My 120 is going to be SPS dominant (acros for the most part) and I would like each tank to be unique in the way they are set up. Preds, anemone (thinking haddoni), seahorses, and such that I won't/can't do in a reef with small fish. Good idea though.

I have had my 38 for quite some time with angels and my pleco, once they go, I will be switching to an axolotl tank. My reef tank will always be with me though.
