60 Cube Build

Moved in...

OK, so I moved my tank inside today from the garage. A little trial and error found the right spot. I have been pumping RO/DI in for hours, and almost have it topped up.

I still need to put in the rock and the sand bed, but we are moving along.

I got my q-tank set up as well, and will pick up a trio of blue-green chromis Monday to start off.

Oh, and for those of you who are thinking "that Marineland LED will never support a reef", you are correct. It is just borrowed off of the Q-tank until my Ecoxotic fixture gets here. And no light-loving anything goes in until then.



More at my blog...

 

i wanted this tank so bad, but really didnt have anywhere wehre a cube would look better than a regular rectangle, so i got a 90 gal insted. these tanks a awesome looking, grats

 

I like the aquascape. 8)

I'm reading your blog now so i can catch up on this.

 

I am really pleased with it. The fact that my wife will happily allow me to put in alongside her interior decorating speaks to the aesthetic quality of the package. Quite frankly, it was easier to find a spot for this cube than for a standard rectangular tank of most any size but pico, but I can easily see how it would not fit for everyone.

 

There is a lot of aquascape left. I just grabbed the top rock in my garbage can of cycled rock to weigh down the grate that kept floating up.

 

This is just a quick update on progress. A couple of Chromis, a black Ocellaris and a bunch of crab and shrimp.
