My Cube

My Cube

I bought this from a fellow reefer. I believe the dimensions at 30x30x26. It's been a long time since I measured it. I have bosted on here before, but here are some updated pics.

^^ Ditto. I've been thinking about a 36x36x24 for a while now, but it seems to be a pretty uncommon size. Did you get a quote from Miracles Aquaticman?

I didn't get one yet, but I did get one for a rimless 30x30x24 with Starphire. Shipped to me it would be around $925. I also got a quote for a 30x30x30 which is $1150 shipped to me.

Going up to a 36" rimless tank might be a pretty big price jump if the glass starts getting thick. I really wanted to move my 125 into this new tank though.... decisions, decisions.

How hard was it to aquascape? I just wonder if the extra 6" would be worth the $$$.

Beautiful tank! I can't wait to get one going!

 

[pasenah]

thanks mike

is that a juvi angelfish, emperator or koran? ( i forget which is the one with circular stripes and which was straighter). Won't that become ultra non-reef safe and perhaps too big for the 26" cube? Just curious. Beautiful otherwise, the sand is so white.

 

[pasenah]

yes its a juv emp and it will get big but they are slow growers and i have a home for it when needed.the sand looks whiter than in real life but its kept nice by my orangespot goby.

cheers

nice selection of mushrooms

Thanks aural - it is a 400w 15K XM bulb. No room for supplemental lighting or I would have gone with some actinic as well. I have a lumenarc 3 reflector, which is huge.

 

[gath2]

trueblackpercula - that will look great when it is setup. What are your plans for quieting the overflow with such a small space?

 

[BreadmanMike]

Ok, need opinions from you guys with 30" tall cubes. I'm thinking either 48x48x24 or 36x36x30. Which would you guys choose?

48X48X30
