Joining the Club - 50g Starfire Cube

[Jerzyray]

Wow just got my tank in. Really nice. Now the 50 cube has 2 holes drilled and the Durso plumbing came with it.

I ment 3

Any suggestions on lighting for inside cabinet

I ment 3

that's great! it was the one downside to it. I double checked the 66g to make sure it had 3 holes too.

I have an apex so use an ecoxotic strip.

I used one of these in my apex cabinet...one down side is if you get too close the light turns off.

I found something similar on Amazon I may get. One day I'll get an Apex, I see the new ones are wifi witch is nice

Ok ran into my first problem. The cut out in the stand is not wide enough to catch the 3 holes in the bottom of the tank. I guess I'll have to cut the satnd?

Yikes! Their customer service is good. Reach out to them. They'd probably send you a replacement panel.

What like the top pice of the stand you think. I'll try that see what they say

Yeah Jim suggest that one too. Does it just plug into a regular outlet

I'm Following this build!
I have the same tank and love it.
Keep it up man!

 

[Jimbo662]

The tank is actually gone. I ended up upgrading to a larger tank...but am actually moving this weekend and having to downsize again. I ended up getting the SCA 66g tank.
