surfn's 50g cube tank

Looks good Al!!! I guess it's about time to send me a frag of that Mummy Eye. :)
 
Al, tank is looking good.. I'm also wondering what caused your coraline die out.. if you figure it out, let us know.. thanks.. :)
 
Hey where can i get a nice cube like urs al?

no clue. i custom designed mine, and built it with a friend who was running a LFS.....who ended up selling the store and moving out of town.

its 24"x24"x20" with 3/8 acrylic, eurobraced around the top, and an external overflow.

i HATE acrylic.......i'm going back to glass......lol
 
I wish I could structure my tank like this, with the lower light corals on the side and have good flow. Awesome tank man, like the clean look too
 
i was worried at first about the noise coming from the overflow/drain pipe, as i've always had issues with them never being quite perfect. at first i put a 1" cap on that top tube, and drilled a small hole in it.....but after a couple of minutes i noticed some surging, so i took the cap off. then there was a lot of gurgling. so i needed a way to muffle the sound of the gurgling, but not cut off all the air. i guess i could have just drilled a bigger hole in the cap, but i just grabbed some cotten padding, and stuffed it in the top of the pipe........completely silent and no surging!!! best over flow i've ever finished! :D:D:D

Can you post a few more pictures of the overflow please? I have a HOB overflow on my tank and its a little noisy.
