Marineland 60 gallon cube setup?

[Fantom555]

So I am thinking about upgrading my nano to a 60 gallon marineland cube. Can anyone give me some input on a good setup...skimmer, sump, pump flow, lighting etc...Basically looking for osme sort of cookie cutter setup to follow to get me going. Thanks!

This would be a good sump, but you should measure under the cabinet to see the exact size that will fit: http://premiumaquatics.com/aquatic-supplies/ES-RS-100.html

Lighting I suggest LEDs, There are many kinds and need to be researched prior to you buying. Look for Aqua Illumination, Maxspect, Pacific Sun, Ecoxotic, and Reef Brites. I use PAR30 and PAR38 LEDs over my tank and you could do the same on yours. Rapid LED, Boost LED, Nanotuners Evil's PAR38.

You can also buy pumps from the above site or most of the Sponsors on the Sponsor page. I am not sure what the overflow is rated for on the Marineland tanks, so you will have to buy a pump that is near that GPH and do not forget to account for head loss and 90* angles. There is a calculator on the Home page. I use Mag Drives, but eheims are more efficient. There are many good choices for pumps.

Good luck
