Coors and Power Tools Build 60 cube

[jetchris]

I am doing a build thread for my new 60g cube that I got from George. Its gonna have a custom light rack. Basically I am going for a rockstar kinda look on the light rack. One sunpod w/ 150 watt MH - 4 ea T5's "coralvue w/ icecap reflector and Giesman bulbs. To cool it down I am going to have 4 ea fans. Also a 510gph return pump Iwaki 30rlt. CL with a sequence wet snapper. 2ea 1 1/2 drains to 6 ea 1/2 output w/ locline. Sump w/ coralife 65 skimmer maybe Octo NW 200 recirc "but they may be to big. No powerheads. The tank has a built in overflow. Custom stand. This is going to be a mixed reef w/ mainly SPS. Dont know if I am gonna have enough room for a fuge. Stay tuned for the madness!!!!!

good luck chrisjet; think I'm about a 12-pack in myself; lol

 

[jetchris]

thanks guys, ill keep the pics coming - hopefully tomorrow I will have the stand finished, from what i understand its gonna be pretty cold outside. The thing that sucks is I have to buy another sheet of $30 plywood and I am still confused on how i am gonna make the door.

Oh and eric, isnt that the starfish in you avatar that is wrecking all the reefs?? It was on Dicovery channel - supposedly those starfish thrive off of our chemicals and fertilizers which cause them to reproduce rapidly. They sit on top of SPS and basically suck the life out of them - no joke!

yeah-it's called the crown of throns starfish; that's where I saw it--I like it, not b/c it wrecks reefs, but i think it is really colorful and pretty--it does like the sps's and other reefs though, and they can wipe out a reef in apparently no time

Hey Chris can I get a frag of the pink sock coral. LOL
