60g Cube O' Sticks

[ronnie]

Started this tank back in April with dry rock, and then seeded it with about five pounds of live rock from my old 60g cube.

Here's a quick list of equipment:
Marineland Rimless 60g 24" cube
16" Ghost overflow
ATI LED Powermodule - 4x24w
2 MP10w powerheads
RLSS R6i Skimmer
Synergy custom sump
Apex w/ WMX, PM2, and two EB8s
K2R Calcium Reactor (not up and running yet)

A few pics as the tank progressed:

I used 2.5% window tint on the back of the tank. I really like the look tint gives. It reflects just a bit and gives the tank some depth.

Filled up!

Done in two posts.

I'm a slacker and just haven't gotten around to putting a thread up here.

I also have a DIY auto water change system set up on this tank. I change out about 1g per day (three small changes per day)

The sump also has a 5g ATO chamber built into it and I fill it as needed with a line ran to the chamber (float switches in place in case of emergency)

Great build! Love the stand. What return pump are you using? I'm in the middle of settle up a 60 cube as well.

 

[ronnie]

Return pump is a jebao 6000. Thanks.

I picked up a few maricultured acros this week. I have them cooking in my QT right now. Also grabbed some acros from battlecorals that will be here next week.

Nice score!

Awesome build...really like the 60g cube dimensions...

 

[ronnie]

Thanks!

I really like the dimensions as well. I downgraded from a 120g, and the maintenance is so much simpler.

Somebody has to grow them.

I'll be glad when they grow out and the tank starts to look more like a tank than a giant frag rock.

 

[ronnie]

I am getting a frag of this guy Tomorrow as well. Hyperberry!

 

[SloppyJ]

Hopefully you'll break me off some of that!
