Going to be starting my Waterbox 20 cube. Purchased the tank last year and have been waiting for the stand to come in for a few months.

Equipment list
Neptune Apex lite will control the tank

Light- AI Prime HD [for now I am trying to convince my wife I need the new radion Gen5

Return - stock for now will be replacing with a dc controllable one

Powerhead - AI Nero 5

Heater - neotherm

Skimmer - either eshopps nano or Cadlights pls50

Red Sea diy cover

Got the rock work done today. Main structure is one piece I cut flat to sit on the bottom of the tank. All the shelves are comprised of literally 60 small pieces that have been secured together

This is the rock work I came up with. Center piece of rock is a single piece cut flat on the bottom. The shelves are approximately 60 smaller pieces secured together.

What return pump have you been looking at? I just got a Cube 20 to set up at home. I know what I want to do for almost everything but I really want a controllable pump.

Your rock work is AWESOME! I love it!

Excited I will be heading to the Frag Farmers Market show in CT this Saturday with my oldest son. I still don’t know what I’m getting but I’m sure I’ll find some nice stuff

I picked up a JF Bloodshot zoa frag over the weekend and it kooks insane.

i ordered a Orphek camera flip on setup which should be in this week so I can snap pics of the corals sitting in my Cadlights 50 long that will eventually make there way into the cube.

I also ordered Brightwell’s koralMD coral dip. I have heard good things and wants fto give this product a chance
