AAA nice dimensions, I was planning to go 48x48x20 but the quote was more then I could afford

Really like the aquaspace and the way you place your coral

 

[elijaher]

Nice look amazing.

Can you talk a little a bout the filtration. Also complete FT shots would be nice.

I run a 75 gal Sump/fuge. First section Houses a Octo Extreme 300, the second houses Rubble rock and Cheato for Nutrient export. I do bi-weekly waterchanges of 50 gal to control Nitrates.

[porthios]

great dimensions. i love cubes. what fish do you currently have in it and what are your future stocking plans?

 

[vangogh121]

Current fish list:
Clown Tang
Sohal Tang
Yellow Tang
Purple Tang
Red sea Sailfin Tang
Blond Naso Tang
Tomini Tang
3 Assorted Anthias
9 Chromises
Three stripe damsel (First fish I ever purchase)
2 Bangii's
Black and white Osscy
regular osccy


As for Corals, I am about out of room, I will only add elite SPS pieces
I have room on the bottom for Acans, chalices and Zoe/Palys
This is all I am currently looking to add.

For fish: I have been kicking around the idea of some wrasses. (the tank can't easily incorporate a cover)

Well for a tank with crappy silicone, crappy edges, and poor customer service, its contents sure took the attention away from that! lol. Looks awesome.

If you dont mind me asking how much was the tank??


and she is a beut.. i love rimless tanks

 

[vangogh121]

I don't mind at all. It was about $1200 delivered. through Glass cages. I don't think I will order though them again. My next tank will probably be ELOS or A.G.E.

Your tank looks great and awesome dimensions. Do you have any foam under your tank.

No I Don't, I reget it too... That is one thing I would do different.

I am seeing no ill effects from not having the foam. Thankfully
