Reefer4eva's 60 cube

[reefer4eva]

Well to start the 34 solana I have is stocked to the hilt with ALOT of corals with no more room for anything to grow so it was only a matter of time that an upgrade was in the making.so I picked up a barely used deep blue rimless 60 g cube...and yes I know it's not a huge upgrade like most member here have but I can tell you this much you'll be amazed from start to finish...well atleast I will.lol
To start let's get to the stand...yeah the one that cost me $14.52 to build

The sump I had custom built from custom king once again thank you Jeff!i decided to go with an eheim 1262 for the return and build a manifold

 

[reefer4eva]

The manifold will be used for my chiller,refugium chamber and media reactors which all of them need low flow so ill still have a lot of flow going into the display

 

[reefer4eva]

Now onto the tank..I decided on going with a blue background(thanks Duke62 you where right blue looks great)I didn't use paint like most people do..I used an adhesive vinyl so I always have the option of changing the color in the future

I have the same tank? tinted in black? I like that blue tho?. You got me thinking broh.

 

[reefer4eva]

I have some extra adhesive vinyl if you want..I got it really cheap

tank and stand look great but black is the way to go

Was debating for a long time about that...kinda needed a change and with the upgrade I figure now was the time!the last 5 tanks had black backgrounds

 

[choco24]

Thx. My boy recently did his tank too and he also got left over. thanks for the offer

So what's the plans for the inside of the tank? You already know that I like the outside

 

[reefer4eva]

As far as the aquascape goes..(.and many who know me know I'm full of surprises when it comes to this part..)I'll be going with a more traditional approach..with lots of ledges caves and cliffs.and ofcourse there will be very minimal amount of rocks on the sandbed so there will be very little detritus build up.i have most of the rocks cooking for well over 2 months so the transfer won't impact the corals I have too much.just waiting on my order of shelf rock to come from Bulk reef supply...maybe ill piss off a lot of people and use grade 8ceramic magnets to hold up the whole aquascape off the sandbed...haven't decided yet...lol

Looking great, I find it harder to keep the blue background looking clean,
Nice manifold .

 

[tttony]

I'm also a fan any ledges or archways you can think of! Post all photos of your Aquascape designs please

 

[Rob&Gab]

yeay! i cant wait too see what it looks like inside the tank.

Can we get a pic of the custom sump? It seems like there are quite a few compartments.

oh, and why would ceramic magnets piss people off?

 

[Arnaldo24]

This is his sump.

Thanks bro...couldn't find a pic of it and I'm not home to take one...absolutely awesome sump!

Lol..seems like every time someone brings up ceramic magnets everyone gets pissed off
..(if there reef safe or not)which in my research they are..I had a lot of great ideas incorporating grade 8 ceramic magnets into rocks and have them suspended in mid air(or water...guess I'm way ahead of time..and yes it can be done! ..welcome to my future!

 

[Rob&Gab]

oh boy i would love too see that!

 

[Arnaldo24]

Tony is simply full of ideas. Im pretty sure with now more room he will do something crazy. Thats why i trust him with some ideas for me. I cant wait for him to finish so he can start mine. Lmao
