Awesome pics and congrats on the 60 cube...I'm so jealous right now. I'm trying to convince the wife for "us" to get a Reefer 350, but she wants me to get rid of my planted FW setup to make space .
Here's my Edge:

You guys are making these edges look awesome. I'm gonna have to drill mine.......and set it back up.

Yep, I'll drill it and build an actual overflow for it and run a tune blue 160 on it. Then the back panel where the filter would go can hold a tiny skimmer......or I may just run a refugium in the bottom
@MermaidTail, how long has your tank been setup now? Since the beginning of this thread?

Hey @cameronh! Thanks for checking in on me

been crazy busy with real life. Little 6 still going strong. All is well! Making slow and steady progress on the big 60cube. Will start a new build thread for that when ready! How's your little tank?

Good to hear and can't wait to see the new one! Mine is doing alright but I think I'm gonna use it as a small fish only tank

here's my 5 gallon just over a year old. Added new dry rock recently . Love yours very nice. I think I got the same acans.

My wife set up the same tank , added the bacteria to get it started and do 50% water change every week , they are cool tanks , did add a extra small LED strip to the top.

He's hard to keep? I was thinking a pair for my 5 they were in my lfs and he said he'd give me for 20$ but I was on my way out of the country so wasn't abt to add something that I cldnt b there to take care of, so what's ur thoughts on them

8.25 UPDATES. Things are rocking on my little nano, we're almost to the 7 month mark. Still loving this little monster! All fish and coral doing great. My little clown is such a fun fish, and his orange is a great, vibrant, healthy orange. Reef Roids are helping my sun coral grow like crazy and my Acans are happy little things, too. Finally starting to look like a reef!
