new to the cube club
i just finished setting up my custom 50g cube (24"x24"x20") that has been in the planning/building stages for about 10months.
i just moved to a new town, so it was the perfect opportunity to have the new tank already set up at the new place to make moving the live stock much easier.
here are my specs:
-50g acrylic cube built out of 3/8" acrylic
-3" eurobrace around the top
-back wall has an added 1/4" black acrylic sheet
-external overflow built into the back wall (makes the back 5/8")
-1/4" acrylic sump (holds about 20g)
-PFO parallel reflector
-PFO 250w HQI ballast running an SE radium bulb
-H&S A110 external skimmer (running it in the sump at the moment)
-2 nanostreams (6025's)...will probably add more flow in the future
-aquacontroller jr
-liter meter 3 dosing DIY 2-part mix
i still have a few things to do like hiding the heater in the fuge, adding T5 actinics, and a better fan. maybe even a chiller.
tank has been set up for a week now, but first here are some build pics:
stand being built
stand w/ a 30g cube
water test
external overflow w/ clear sides
