be careful of that green serpent star, they get big and like to eat fish.

that serpent star is 12" i have it for over six years never ate a fish. i am thinking about getting rid of it with the smaller tank and smaller fish.

I love cube tanks- how many gals is yours? That seems like the perfect size for a smaller apartment- it really wouldn't take up all that much more room than my 16g!!!

rich thanks, so far so good with this set up only problem was the closed loop pump . this is my third closed loop pump here is the order, panworld px-x great pump little too much noise for my set up, velocity t4 great pump ,silent added 3 degrees to my tank and the pump i have now gorman rupp. this is a great pump for the squirt i highly recommend it very little heat transfer very quiet a lttle expensive but well worth it for what it does. i also added a turbelle powerhead. try this weekend for updated pics
reefer420 tank is 50 gallons

Mike GRI pumps are awesome, I had the 520. For the money and performance the panworlds are awesome too.
