Went from a 20 gallon to a 60 cube myself! Love the footprint and size is great. Looking forward to your build thread!

Nice.. do you have a pic
Sorry it took so long but here’s a few I snapped for ya. Haven’t really been doing much to it as we are anticipating another move within the month. But when we do I’ll be building a new stand and sump for it

I love it, when I begin to upgrade I may debate getting the hydra or doubling up the primes. But I run it at 45% max so I have some room to build it up. Great starter light that got me into led's from my t5's

Nice I still have to figure out settings for the hydra first time messing with lights with these settings

Don’t mind the sloppy gluing.. was a pain in the rear to plumb lol

Transferred from the 20g long after a few days to get the water to temp.. everything went well and everything survived

Ended up picking a flurry clown at colchester pet that Jen had ordered for me.. I was nervous at first cause of my phantom but after a couple days they are friends.. also picked up a tomini tang from Ari21 last weekend so I’m all done for livestock but most likely gonna get a captive bred mandarin..
