Jaysushi's 60G Cube

JakeLikesReefs · Apr 23, 2019

What position are the mp10's in? I am going to start my cube soon and hope to position them in a way in which im getting enough vertical flow.

Thanks,
J

There is an mp10 on the left side and right side. Right side is higher up in the tank and left side is a little bit below the middle of the tank.

Do you think it would be tough to use more of the vertical space with aquascaping?

Use a wavemaker that you can point up. Place it about halfway- 3/4 way down. Mine is located behind the frogspawn on the left next to the overflow. You will only need one. I adjust it to about a 1" wave. Works very well.

Oh and go vertical, use epoxy for the rock bonding.

What webslinger said and you should be good to go

Following this build! I have a 60g cube I started in September. I went with two Apex WAV units because I had a hard time getting the MP unit to stay on the 1/2” glass. Cube aquariums are beautiful but they have there struggles! I like your sump too

Here is my build if your interested:

@Heavymman I know what you mean with the MP10's. Luckily, I have 3/8" glass and they seem to be doing decent. I do notice when I am cleaning my glass I will accidentally bump them and they move a lot or pop off and that gets annoying lol...

I will definitely check out your build! I have been in love with cubes ever since I wanted to start one.

@Jaysushi if you already posted this I apologize but what type of drain / overflow system did you go with?

Jaysushi · Apr 25, 2019

@Heavymman I am actually using the stock plumbing that was sent with my 60 cube from Cadlights.

As far as overflow goes, it is a standard built in overflow from them. Not an external or anything.

How do you like the 60g versa? I have been looking into this tank and the SCA 50g but seems like not a lot of people have these tanks. Im restricted to a 24x24 setup.

Any pros/cons/advice you can share?
