Hey everyone!! As you all know I have always had a 30 gal biocube of awesomeness!!!
But now I am upgrading to a 60 gallon and hope to take my reefing to greater heights .
So I created a new thread on my new 60 gallon build that is a work in progress but want to keep you guys updated on my progress!
It still needs to be
Drilled
Painted (stand)
Put cabinet doors
And plumbed
So if you have any tips,advice or anything to donate like misc plumbing parts or anything that would be awesome!
Thank you for looking!
Reef on!

Stand looks good, I have some drill bits and overflow boxes that might work for you. I'm not going to use them, so let me know if your interested.

I have bits for a 1.5 in bulkhead and .75 bulkhead, and the bulkheads also, the overflows might need to be cut down a bit, but its all yours just figure a time you can stop by.

So with this tank I made a hybrid style light fixture with t5 and LEDs and it looks awesome! Went to Home Depot and starting grabbing random things to make my hang up kit for my lights and it turned out nice and clean looking. Here are some pictures of the aquarium so far ready for plumbing tomorrow!
This when I was working on it.



Finished product!

Wanted to give you guys a update on my tank!
Well everything has been doing great! Was able to get a better skimmer a reef octopus 150 and it works like a charm.

I have been getting into sps now and if you have any advice I would greatly appropriate it!
Thanks for looking
