What manufacturers make a 60 Gallon cube?

jt48 · 02/23/2018, 11:52 PM

I know of glasscages.com and cad lights. Looking for a 24x24x24 60 gallon cube, reef ready preferably with overflow centered on back wall.

I bought one from glass cages and I was happy with it

Marineland makes a few as well. I love my Cadlights

I have a 60 cube with a corner overflow, can't remember who made it though (got it from my LFS). I got a Trigger Systems crystal 18 sump underneath it as well. Definitely been a challenge figuring out lighting, flow and rockwork on it as I've never had a cube before.

edit: It's a marineland.

Not sure how close to the walt whitman you are but a LFS I go to might have something. They are right off of rt 42. Google aquarium center.

Marineland has one, but it is a corner overflow Durso style I believe. I have the rimless one and it is nice and has done me well for 2 years. But I wish I had that corner space that is being taken up by the overflow which runs from the bottom to the top of the tank.

Thanks for all the replies. Any pics to share.?
Regarding overflow I definitely want it centered on back wall, may even having it custom built with external overflow.

Deep blue also makes 60g cube rimless.

I would buy an undrilled marineland and drill it where I want it. That way it will also be the size I want. Typical "reef ready" overflows tend to be anything but.

Not exactly what you asked but SC Aquariums has a 66 (32 X 24 X 20) which is a really nice tank (I have one).

SCA gets my vote as well, excellent CS

Another vote for SCA - the 50g "cube" they offer has the same footprint of the 60g cube from other manufacturers, but is just 4" shorter, which makes it easier to work in and light throughout...

...and yes, I happen to have one - has been running for several years now...

Gotta go with SCA as well, love my 45g cube. If I were to do it again though I would spring for a solid wood stand and not the MDF.

Agreed, although they did not have the solid wood stands back then...
