New Marineland 60 gal cube

BPevito · 12/17/2014, 07:24 PM

Finally got my 60 gal cube up and running. Now to start buying coral.

BPevito · 12/28/2014, 01:42 PM

Bought the reef breaders phtoon 16" light, also nought the Eshopps re-100 sump.

BPevito · 12/28/2014, 01:44 PM

Dose anyone have any other suggestions on equipment I should get for an Sps tank?

Jeepman3sk · 12/30/2014, 03:18 PM

Are you planning for a skimmer? I am in the process of building a 60g cube too. Myabe the SCA-301 or Bubble Magus NA 3.5?

Remmers · 12/31/2014, 01:43 PM

These marineland rimless cubes are very nice.

Just picked up one for a friend last night and it is bigger in person then the picture's

Very nice choice

Jeepman3sk · 12/31/2014, 03:47 PM

I just picked mine up today. I can't wait to get it all set up!

For sps you should have a doser or calcium reactor. Also media reactors for carbon and gfo

TreyK · 12/31/2014, 05:30 PM

Looks nice! Can you list what equipment you currently have and then maybe others can advise what else you might need/want for SPS?

Also take a look at my build thread and you can see how I am planning for an SPS dominate system. T

There are some REALLY nice cubes on here, do some searching and I bet you will get tons of ideas!

Any doser you would recommend?

BPevito · 01/02/2015, 05:45 PM

So far I have 60 pounds of life sand, about 80 pounds of live rock, an hang on the back skimmer that I'm using a new one, Eshopps 100 sump, and reefbreeders photon led light.

BPevito · 01/05/2015, 02:51 PM

finally mounted my reefbreeders led light. I used the radion mounting system.

YoungREEFA · 01/05/2015, 03:02 PM

No you do not need a doser at the moment. Spend money elsewhere for now. For the first couple months at least you can hand dose, use kalkwasser, or consistent water changes. Do you have an ato?

AudiSportB5S4 · 01/05/2015, 03:16 PM

Nice setup.. What kind of top do you have on it? I have a 60 cube thread going, linked here if you'd like to take a look!

BPevito · 01/06/2015, 01:11 PM

It is a glass top made for the cube.

BPevito · 01/06/2015, 01:12 PM

Some of my corals so far

No I donot have an ATO. What other things would you recommend.

YoungREEFA · 01/06/2015, 02:07 PM

Definently an ATO, you can usually find a jbj on the BST forum for around 50 shipped.next to that would be a better skimer. What can you fit in the sump? If you are hard pressed for space there are many uits available around 200 that are under a 7x4 footprint

Custom? I haven't had any issues yet with mine being open, but if it didn't add much to the top I think I would consider it.

No marineland makes it. We bought it for about $30.

BPevito · 01/09/2015, 11:39 AM

We last night the bottom of my tanke cracked.

BPevito · 01/09/2015, 02:46 PM

Started a new thread for the tank cracking.
