With a cube tank, do most of you guys try to aquascape it so its 2 or 3 side viewable, or just one??

 

[joedelt]

mine is three side. i was originally going to do 4 side, but a 2x2x2 is really too small for that to work correctly.

I agree, 2x2x2 is way too small. Mine is currently that size, and i ran out of space within months... I've added tiers and shelves to make more room, but still not enough to add more goods. I haven't seen any new cubes lately, has anyone obtained new ones or added new items to their current cubes?

i'm batteling a hair algea problem which i'm having a hard time tracing. i have 2 fish in a 60 gallon system (including sump volume) and feed 3x a week.

[joedelt]

I hate this thread. I just bought a 37 G cube bc of this thread.

My 2'x2'x2' cube will be up at the end of august. thats the first chance i'll get to pick it up. I'm going to light it with a reefstard 250 watt HQI double ended hamilton 14k. I'm custom building the stand, and hanging the pendant. i have a cool idea for aquascaping but we'll see how it works when its time. I enjoy everyones tank and look to them for inspiration. I'm converting my nano, pics in my gallery. somebody else get a new tank so we can check it out.

 

[bobherbertperry]

sorry, you guys with a 2x'2' what skimmer are you running??

 

[saltyFISHscales]

i've got the euro-reef CS 6-1, a little too big for my 20 gallon sump, but skims like crazy!!!

 

[joedelt]

i use the same skimmer. ihave a custom sump from barr aquatic that i think is perfect for the cube. plenty of waterflow, lots of overflow space.
the biggest shortcoming on a cube is internal storage space. i've had to be really creative to get everything to fit.

Oceanview makes a 115 gallon cube 30 x 30 x 30 "

I have one on order from my lfs.

 

[tszetela]

RamPuppy, How much are they charging?
I am getting ready to order a 24 inch cube from my LFS for $77 and you know they say bigger is better!

What comercial brand (oceanic, lee mar, anything) sells glass cube tanks? I want to buy a 24" cube but the acrylics are expensive ones.

 

[kmu]

Geddex: where is the overflow on your cube? are you running sumpless? Great looking tank.

 

[Geddex]

Thanks kmu!
The overflow is behind the rocks. I have a 60l sump under the tank.

Skimmer, Ca reactor, Denitrator and a 25l container for top off water is located under the tank as well.
