I thought I would start a thread for my upgrade. I ordered a new 60g cube (2'x2'x2') and plan on turning it into a nice SPS tank with a few fish I have always wanted to keep. Now, this tank will not be set up and cycling until I get back from doing research over the summer, so it will be a work in progress. Things will start taking shaping at the end of September and early October though and I am hoping to have thing thing wet with sand and rock by the second week of October.
The equipment list is as follows:
60g cube with DIY stand
used acrylic sump (thanks Brian)
SLS Reef Optix III Plus HQI Pendent with 250w Galaxy E Ballast
mp10es (will add another later on most likely)
200w aqueon heater
1250 ehiem return (or comparable used one if I find)
BRS biopellet reactor
Reef Octo NWM110 or 150 (comments on this skimmer choice? The reviews say they are good)
JBJ ATO
I will be transferring all my current fish and corals from my 20h SPS tank (1 true perc, 1 possum wrasse, 1 goby) to the cube and adding a leopard wrasse, some sort of tang ( :banghead: ), and a flame angel. I will also be adding a haddoni carpet after the tank is settled.
