First build 60 gallon cube

[mike82caddy]

This is a nice tank, i considered picking it up but really don't need another tank, lol. I would suggest removing the live rock from the 1st chamber and put a filter sock in there, that chamber will become a debris trap and difficult to clean otherwise. You can use a simple spring clamp to hole the filter sock if you don't want to buy a holder.

I was hoping enough flow with the return to prevent that

got a new led bulb so it won't get to hot in my sump and replaced hoses on my reactors looks like it's getting more flow with new hoses

Just the nature of having something in that chamber that's not a sock will cause debris to get trapped, LR is one of the worst contributors, lol. Anyway, just a suggestion, whatever works for you is all that matters. Looking forward to seeing this thing get stocked!

Well everything looks like it is shaping up pretty nicely. You got me thinking maybe i should re-do my sump! Ha!

Looking good! Are you going to run filter socks to catch the detritus?

I wasn't planning to but javajacketoc has Mr thinking maybe I should. Would I really need to take all the rock out can't I just get a sock and zip tie it onto the tube.

It's very hard to get rid of. Do you have any livestock in the tank???

Sure man how much you want for it and what size. I do have live stock I've been reading the many methods and I found this ultra algae x stuff I'm going to try out seems pretty easy and effective http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/fauna-marin-ultra-algea-x.html

it depends on what you want to use your apex for. The first thing I picked up was an Eb8. It gave me 8 more outlets to control all my stuff
