My new 60 gallon cube is finally setup

[sra_chipmunk]

I have been working on this for almost 3 months now and I finally finished it. The lights are 2 18" VHO's (super actinic and 50/50) and a XM 20K 400 watt fired off a pulse start ballast. The tank dimensions are 24x24x23 and the sump is 21x21. Octopus extreme 160 skimmer, carbon reactor, etc etc.... You get the idea.

[jaustin]

neat that tank and sump match, but next time draw bigger potatoes to go with that meatloaf....

 

[sra_chipmunk]

Sorry guys. I didnt catch the art work on the hood until it was mentioned on here. I deleted it off the photobucket.

looks really good I used to have a 60g cube its a great tank. However, the tank is way to small for a tang.

I know, the tangs are small enough right now but I will replace them a little later.

I dont know how. I deleted it off of my photobucket. I guess a mod is going to have to take it off for me.

we got the tanks from our LFS. He had to special order from a guy in another state. The tank was only $209 and comes with a warrenty and sump was only $147

Very nice! I've been thinking about getting a 60 or 90 gallon cube.

I really like 60 cubes. If I move in Dec I think it will be on my possibility list of potential tanks for the new place.

That looks great, and that is a fantastic price!
