Another 60 gallon Cube Tank build

[habutti]

Greetings, I picked up Ben's (aka Mighty nano tank) Marineland reef ready 60 gallon cube tank. The package included in addition to the tank, factory stand, and plumbing, a Trigger emerald 20c sump, SWC160 skimmer, Danners supreme mag return pump, and a Custom Acrylic lid by OctoLids. I plan on running this tank bare bottom. I will use some stuff from my old 40 breeder, like rocks, the Kessils, etc. The goal is a SPS dominant tank running the Zeovit system. Here we go...

Sexy looking tank.

So once I got home with the equipment I washed it all with a 50% bleach solution (I know it was strong), then I rinsed it all with vinegar followed by a RODI water bath. I also painted black the white pvc pipes in the overflow. I mounted some sliders on the stand to facilitate moving the unit.

I would convert that to a dual drain setup and run the return over there back for peace of mind

I thought about it, and will plan for that mod.

I hooked everything up, got the sump in place and the Zeovit reactor. I am using my old Kessil A360 from my 40 breeder, and also using some rocks from that tank (not winning any aquascape competition), and filled it up. Dumped some Dr. Tim's One and Only, and let the cycle begin.
