    Hey all I am selling off my main 55gal tank and everything with it. After visiting the LFS my wife saw the cube tanks and fell in love. So over the next few months I will be ordering all brand new parts and doing this right. But honestly this will be my first tank with a sump and doing all the plumbing. So i am looking for help on what parts to get and whats good.

    Heres what I can tell you I know about the project so far. Most likely will be a 93 gallon marineland cube tank Reef ready. I have going to be having a custom sump made for it with refugium built in. I will be going to rapidled for what i am thinking is 36 leds to cover this tank thats 30x30x24.

    So help with hardware would be amazing with ideas and what not. And as parts come in some will the pics.

    Really want to keep mostly hard corals, clams with about 6-8 fish unknown at this point.

    known parts :
    tank - Marineland 93 gallon Cube
    stand - matching marineland stand
    sump - Custom Sump from Carribean Forest
    Lights - DIY from rapidled.com
    everything else is a ?


    Thanks all,
    Pat McLean

    I'd love to see some pics when you get the tank, I've never seen that large of a cube before.
