My 60 cube SPS dominant

Seth401 · Nov 15, 2015

Guys,

My first post in the SPS forum. In July I started my 3rd reef(after a 5 year hiatus from the hobby) and decided to go primarily all SPS. 60 cube marineland rimless, frameless with corner overflow.

Equipment:

-gyre 130
-ATI led powermodule 4x24
-skimz mini monster 123
-tunze osmolator
-sicce return pump

Livestock(guess you could call it a battletank, most of my coral came from Battlecorals)

-BC Spainbow
-BC Xmas
-PC Rainbow
-PC Superman
-BC Sky Doppel
-Green Slimer
-Blue Matrix
-reverse superman month
-Rainbow monti
-Supposedly forest fire monti
-red monti cap
-Icefire enchinata
-Bonsai
-BC hyperberry
-Blueberry Fields
-Ponape Rainbow Acro
-Ponape Birdsnest
-Red Dragon
-Green Birdsnest
-Birds of paradise
-Pink lemonade
-Poletti's yellow tip
-C-quarium Unknown
-New BC Rainbowberry
-New BC Ultimate table
-Dales purple
-Tubbs purple monti
-poop dragon(that's what I'm calling it now, purchased as red dragon but is not).
-Poor mans sniper milli
-Raindrops on roses Milli
-Setosa
-Dear God I've bought to much coral in a short period of time
-Aussie Bottlebrush
-Purple Loripes

-two clownfish
-6 line
-Blue Hippo for crop dusting
-flame hawk

Anyways I'm posting some pictures that are absolutely terrible(if anyone can help with an app for pictures please don't hesitate). Tank is doing very well. All SPS for the most part are doing awesome and growing surprisingly fast for a young tank. The gyre is awesome and the led powermodule is ridiculously awesome. Please let me know what you think! Again the pics are bad...

Looks like a great start. I'm looking to upgrade to a 60 cube eventually and love sps so I will be following.

Very beautiful

Where did you put the gyre? I have the same tank and was thinking about getting one.

Seth401 · Nov 15, 2015

I appreciate it. The tank appears in the pictures waaaaay more blue than in person. Can't figure out how to take pictures with LEDs yet

Seth401 · Nov 15, 2015

Gyre is near the top basically in the middle(left side touching the corner overflow). As close as you can get to smack in the middle. 60% two second pulse. Great flow everywhere.

Thanks for the info. Tank looks good. I have to turn my blues off for pics with my LEDs.

Have you had any issues with the 130 in the last couple of months? im looking to get a gyre and run it along with my mp10 and replave my rw4

Very nice

Purpule Tang · Nov 16, 2015

Very good tank,I look at to x1 ati sirius led but I not review from it.
Is good idea or not?
My size tank is cube 70*70*60cm.

Seth401 · Nov 16, 2015

No problems with the gyre so far. Tang I'm sure the x1 is nice, the ati leds have a great spread. I definitely like having the T5 though. Think they really help for sps color

Looking good! I gotta come by and check it out and give you your snail back sometime.

Seth401 · Nov 17, 2015

For sure man looks much different than it did 6-8 weeks ago. Come by this weekend!

Seth401 · Nov 17, 2015

Haha and I don't need the snail back my trochus snails have been multiplying like rabbits. At least two groups of babies in the last 2 months!

Awesome man, looking into setting up a 60 cube also, question, what size drains and return are u running in your system? Im afraid three 1" drains might make it too loud on my bean animal drain. Any input is appreciated, try the snap seed app, I gotta try it myself I read it from a different forum (for your pics)
