My Reef Tank 60g Cube
Been into aquariums for last 30 yrs, but for the last 10 did not have a salt/reef setup. Been as of late into breeding Angels and Discus with great success. But here is our 60gal Cube.
30" tall stand w/canopy Lighting: Alpha LED 120W and 3- 12" Ecoxtic Stunner led strips 6w each strip and also 3w moon light Filter: Over flow box w/ ECO- Fuge sump can fltr up 240G. 20lb live sand in sump and 40lbs live sand in tank. 75lbs live rock I got bigger fuge in order to grow into a bigger tank later. Fltr socks: 200 micron socks, I change out every week Htr: Fluval E-series 200w Skimmer: ASM G-Series G1X Pump: Danner Mag drive MD12-1200 flow rate Circ pumps: 2 Koralia 1050 Has been up and running since March with great success no coral loss, but did lose some cycling fish at around the 4th/5th week. Sump is plumbed into adjacent hall closet as it would never have fit under stand. So added a exhaust fan, and cooling fan. The pic of tank is just after 1st fill and just live rock. The Urchin skimmer was not what I thought it was going to be, and got rid of it later. Will add more pic's later as I reached limit.....it is a great looking tank and all our friends/family always go straight to it and just love looking at it... There is now much more sea life in it and doing fantastic. I do 50% water changes every 3weeks, use WM Calxmax Bi-ionics A/B, Chemipure, Purigen, and Tropic Marin salt w/ RO only. |

Thanks......Yeah we have been really glad that it's going good...here's more pic's The pic with the old sump as you can see is small, but worked good. I just want a better control and upgraded to the big sump for a good result in water care. |

That rock work ROCKS !
Love the way the sump is plumbed to the closet. I have my 36 cube plumbed thru a wall to closet in living room where I also keep supplies and a 40 plumbed thru wall to a bathroom where I also have my Two DI buckets. That is going to be one ... Merry Skerry |
