sketch for the 5ft cube i wanna build

I am looking into building a tank myself here is a sketch with the proposed holes for a closed loop 7 return and one feed. The tank will measure 60x60x27 any advice, experience and input is welcomed need lots of input on pumps reactors and anything else i might need to make this setup work. More info to come soon just putting things together now will start the build after my move ;D.



So total water in gallons would be 388.9gal that is just the display tank, the 75gal DT i have now will become a sump and I have another 25gal that will become a fuge. I think that will give a total system volume of almost 500gal. I have a CPR bio filter that does 500gal that has a dual skimmer setup if i cant use that what kind of skimmer would be good for this setup?

 

way cool i have thaught about a cube quite a fiew times .. one my ideas was to have the return in the middle with rock comeing out of the water make like a small waterfall i think would be cool but not verry practical . i like the fact that it can be viewed by 4 diffrent angles it can make for any aquascape you could emagin or at least 4 diffrent designs

 

Thanks, That would be a very cool idea i have thought about putting one of the returns in the center under a rock.

 

Very cool buddy. I like the idea of one in the center, plus it will be an even 8

Thats going to be a big tank man. Are you using glass?

 

I have always wanted to have a tank that looked like this one, and you could do it with a cube.
