60 Gallon JTS

[Tommy Shumpert]

Finally getting back into the Hobby. I tore down my tank a couple years ago because of crash. I have been doing this for 20 years now and missed it! I wanted to take my time and purchase top quality equipment to incorporate into this build.

Tank/Stand:
Tank stand is made up of 1.5" steel tubing.
39" Tall
26" Deep
37" Wide
I wrapped it with Poplar. I have not finished stand yet. Plan on putting some trim on the doors to dress it up a little, then stain.
I have doors on both sides and front for easy access.
Going to build a board to hold all my electronics on the left side.

My tank is a 2'x2'x2' w/center overflow. (looking for a 3'x2'x2' with overflow)(msg me if you have one for sale)

Purchased:
PM 30" Sump
Vectra M1 DC Pump
2 Vortech MP10 pumps
Apex Controller w/PH probe, Temp Probe, Salinity probe
Neptune DOS (for auto water changes)
Neptune WXM module
Icecap K2 160 Skimmer

Lighting: (have not decided..)maybe Radion XR30
I have a 24" 150W Metal halide with 2-40W attinics great fixture...


More to come. Slow a steady.....

Here is everything ready to go. ATO tank fits great. Going to build a acrylic top to minimize evaporation in sump. Got my Icecap Skimmer setup with PM overflow.
