60 Gal Cube Noob Build

[Thegoodson]

Ya I'm working on the 2 heater its on the list
As far as return pumps I have the one that came with the set up it's a rio 2100 that's the next thing that I'm replacing I'm thinking going with the new vectra s1 I've heard good things about it. I would run more flow with my return pump probably around 600 got


As far as the mp40 it's working well it's better with the 2 eflux I have on there as well help brake up some of that strong flow that being said I would have went with 2 mp10 I thing it would be better and easier to setup

Do you have any pic of your tank I would love to see it

Building it now. Literally accumulating parts -and crossing them off a list. Moving across the country in June, so so will not build the stand nor buy the glass til I get there.

I would love to run 2x mp10 but the tank I’m looking at has too thick of glass for the mp10 (that was a disappointment lol) and I can’t find anything thinner that is low iron.

Thanks for the circulation info!! Can’t wait to see how yours builds out!!

ya my glass is 10 mm think but ive have talk to people that said the mp 10 work fine on it. I would love to test this for myself but i just run the mp 40 low ish like 3 percent

 

[Thegoodson]

30

Wow, had -no- idea I would be turning it down -that- low LOL. Makes me really want to find someone with thick glass and test it out first... Would MUCH rather spend the money on two mp10s.

Thank you for the heads. Much appreciated!

I have it that low cause I have nothing but wife and Lps

Super massive Brown algea bloom I don't have any snail the crabs took care of them I do have 2 conch snails there are keep the sand and some of the glass clean everything seems to be in order guess I'll wait it out and get some snails

Beautiful! I am in the process of moving forward on a 60gal cube. Which AI Hydra are you running? 26 or 52?

My ato went out for like 2 days started emailing to get a replacement and BOOM started working again.....weird but I'm happy

I am running a MP10 on my 93 cube. Works fine but dont have to run it full bore as I have Gyre 230 on the otherside.

top view of the tank while doing a water change starting to have issues with my ato thinking about starting to dos cal and all maybe kalkwasser

 

[Thegoodson]

Been busy but this is some of the new additions to the cube

 

[Thegoodson]

Also I have some coral line algae growing in a few places still looking for something to put on top of the big rock in the back.

Also going to upgrade my return pump and skimmer

My skimmer just keeps over foaming no matter how much I adjust it

I did have some white worm from what my gf said in my tank she said it came off of this
If anyone might know what it is let me know

 

[Thegoodson]

Went to reef current in Houston Texas trying to get together the videos but i put up something to add to the tank

Here are some things that I thought were cool
