Duke's 50 cube build... Let the games begin

[duke4130]

Long over due much needed upgrade.... I found a sweet set up our local forum and I couldn't pass it up

Leemar 50gl cube 24"x24"x 20"
Center over flow

Custom built 3 door poplar wood stand

Custom glass 3 chamber sump with built in 3gl ATO reservoir.

I am running an eheim 1260 return that powers the return, carbon reactor and Deltec APF 600 recirculating skimmer.

I am going to be running a single MP40 and a 6 bulb 24" aquatic life fixture.

My buddy Vance (tuna_bullet) hooked me up with some primo shelving live rock that is curing in his system as we speak. I know we are doing rock pillars but not exactly sure how yet.. Lol... All I am waiting on is the lamp tree from cadlights

Nice work on the towers guys! Can't wait to see them in the tank

Nice scape! :-)

Thanks everyone.... You can't really tell by the pictures but pretty much the entire tank is going to be mostly rock.... There is going to be about 4 inches left in the front and 1 inch on each side.... We are going for the maximum show rock system that is possible in the small 24x24 space... We set it up to have the most real estate possible with out looking like just a pile of rock. Hard to see from the pictures but there is shelving going out in every direction with little shadowing.... I will be able to jam pack this thing and not have to worry about any flow issues in the system
