    Never posted on 3Reef before but am starting a 60gal cube so might as well start posting:). Its a 60 Gal cube with a PCX 30 return, not sure of the skimmer, but hooked up the light its a 250W DE HQI Ushio with a sunlight supply reflector and Galaxy Ballast. I hate the pump and have a mag on order so hopefully it will be quiet enought to open the door to the bedroom again. Any input to make it better is appreciated;D

    Nice tank, i bought but have not set up yet a marineland 45 gallon cube, Love the aquascaping the demsions on cube type tanks allow for. K+ for the 3 view aquascape thats what im going for.

    Looks pretty good! I love cubes. Maybe a little more LR?, or a more dramatic scape with the rock. Subscribed =)

    cool setup. you can't beat the profile of a 60 cube, its a nice size, not too big, not too small.
