56gl cube build

[ericbost23]

Started a new build with my old 56gl. I have no idea where this will go other than all low to medium light corals. Trying new equipment.

How did you cycle your tank, and what’s your timeline so far? :) I like your scaping! I think I’ll be pretty interesting when you get it covered in coral.
What light are you using?

Seth I cycled using raw shrimp I started in October. I'm usin a 28 dollar full spec light from China(bit of an experiment). My kid scaped the tank . I'e decided to go with softy and low to mid light lps corals

Sounds like you’re well on the path :)
I would see if you can borrow a par meter from a lfs or fish club and check your light.

This is my current set up and scape. I started this Nano’s cycling in November. It’s doing great currently!

Beautiful corals...no one around me has a meter. But it would be awesome if I could

Thanks! You could always pick one up too, you can get some fairly accurate par meters for about $200

Os I have a bit of a problem I need your help with. This 56gl is my first cube 30x18x24h. I'm going for low to medium flow but don't know what type or size of wave maker to get. A common type or a cross flow
