Im bored, lets see some 60 gallon cubes!!

[Preston's_Waters]

I am looking into getting a 60 gallon cube for my second tank and I want to see what R2R has done with their 60 gallon, If you really want to you can list the corals, lighting, fish, filtration, Etc.

Feel free to put you tank in here even if it is not a 60 gallon cube, and have fun!

Thanks for all of the images and experiences, I bet I'm about to see some great builds!!!!!

Nice torch and Goni's! How long have you had them?

11 months, so still very young

 

[lil sumpin]

Thank you. They're aquacultured frags that I purchased from a local reefer back in Nov and Dec '23

no problem, do you have other tanks?

 

[lil sumpin]

I dont at the moment. This is my first reef tank, just hit the year mark. I'm looking to start up another nano more focused on macro algaes and soft corals soon

yes, already going to upgrade to a 150 though, I’m thinking i’ll take this 40 and remove everything except the clowns and have anemone & clown only. was inspired after seeing this…

Dude, I saw and read your tank thread a couple weeks ago, and it has got to be my favorite.

Coolest 32 gallon bio cube ever.

Btw where did you buy that from, Facebook, R2R? Looking to buy a cube of some sort for next tank

If you get one and have any questions please feel free to reach out to me. I think filtration and light modifications are described in my thread. Happy reefing!

Nice! Curious- how long were the goniopora and leather toadstool in this setup?

Fell into the category of 'goni did well first couple months then simply declined..'. They're my favorite coral and would absolutely love to try again. The idea of softies having a negative effect on gonis gets floated around occasionally. There is a large toadstool leather in my setup and that makes me wonder sometimes. Your setup makes me wonder and gives hope.

I got the goni in Nov '23, was about a golf ball size and now it's more like a tennis ball. It seems to like nutrients much like the toadstools do. I feed a bit heavy cus I got 3 fish in there an all the inverts and coral seem to appreciate. The toadstool is like 5-6 years old, it was given to me by a local reefer who was breaking down his tank, pretty hardy and I've not seen it shed or stress.
