Hello everybody!
After maintaining my standard 29 Gallon Reef Tank for a while the wife has given me the OK to get a larger tank and to put a sump in the basement. This is good news!
The problem is that I'm not having any luck finding any quality built cube tanks ready for reefing at any of my LFS. It looks like my only option is to order something in but I'm not sure who from.
She really wants a yellow and a blue tang - so I know we need a larger tank but I'm not sure how large considering a cube isn't going to be as long as a standard rectangular tank.
I've tried to keep the 29 Gallon lightly stocked. I have 2 Percula Clowns, a Strawberry Dottyback, an emerald crab, 2 scarlet cleaner shrimp, and a few assorted snails.
The plan with the cube is for it to be large enough for us to be able to have a few 'islands' of rock and maybe even different areas of flow - depending on what everything likes. Right now I have 2x MP10's on the 29 and they're turned down to about 25% and everything seems happy.
Honestly I don't really care that the seams look 'amazing' as much as the tank be solidly built. I'm really wanting to go rimless and I do want to have some sort of top/cover as I would like to get some fish that may jump given the chance down the road.
