Marineland 60 gallon cube.

Thinking of doing the 60 gallon cube with overflow. Small sump underneath, and a fuge, and skimmer. Skimmer might be a hang on the back or small footprint Bubble magus. Any other suggestions? Like sand, rock, lighting?

I recently set up a 60 cube for my ponies and they love it! I have a berlin sump underneath with a mag 7 pump. No skimmer yet but will get one soon. I am running a 6 bulb t5 fixture with 3 10k bulbs and 3 actinic, its pretty blue but the ponies do not like extremely bright light and my zoas look great :inlove: For the live rock, i made it very cavey and med-height in the tank, the cube allows alot of space for creativity. Its island style so there is a good 6 inches + between the rock and the glass for space and flow. All in all, im alot happier than the standard tank i had them in initially. At feeding time I turn the pumps off and they cruise all over the tank checking things out. Highly recommend the cube!:thumbsup:

susan92368, do you have any pics of the tank showing the overflow and how its plumbed? I'm having difficulty finding images so I can plan my stand accordingly, thanks.

I have the 60g (24x24x24) and it came with the center overflow, two pre drilled holes in the back (drain and return). I came straight out from the drain, 'T' then down to the sump, left the top of the 'T' open for air, the return is just using a Marineland 1800 from the sump to the tank. I have had it this way since Nov 09, all is well and good, I love the cube.

How many sea horses do you have in your tank? What else do you have in the tank with them?
