Sump setup 60 gallon DT

[MARK ZAWADZKI]

hey everybody
I'm setting up a 60 gallon reef and I bought the Bashsea 20" cube sump.
I'll be using a protein skimmer, GFO reactor, UV sterilizer, and throwing a bio brick in the refugium.
Does all of this sound like overkill for a 60 gallon? Thoughts? Thank you

I'm a fan of the bio blocks, I used one of the big 4 inch ones in my 60 cube and never had any nitrates or nitrites. You can skip the UV it kills the good and bad

Thanks! Yes I'll be running a 60 gallon cube myself

Loved my 60 cube, it's so easy to aquascape. But the lure of a 90 got to me. Best of luck setting up, this is a great place for questions.

That's hilarious, I had a FOT 90 gallon and I'm downsizing to the cube. Rimless cubes have me wrapped around their finger lol

Yeah they are beauty's, I hated how limited the space was in the stand. That's ultimately what made me upgrade

I'm building my own stand at 30"x30" and 36" high. It was the only way to make it work under there. Agreed
