The Hun's 60g Cube of Pure Sexy SPS and LPS

[kthehun89]

Hello fellow Coral and Fish friends!

This is my recent tank upgrade. I previously had a 34g Solana, 20" cube, set up for about 1.25 years, and I recently came across a sick drilled 60g, 24" cube setup. The system was built, and set up shortly, then tore down before I got it, and the tank, stand, sump, return and light are all from the same owner.

I'm lighting it with a 10x24w ATI Powermodule, actinic on at 9am, daylight on at 11am and off at 6, actinic off at 9pm. I dose 30ml of every day, as well as feeding the tank with mysis and Salifert Energy +pellets. Almost 95% of these corals were in my Solana, so I'm happy to space them out a bit. I love SPS as you can tell, and I have been collecting some chalices here and there. I run a RKL lvl 3 to control everything minus the dosing, which I am working on updating. I have a single float switch ATO that drips Kalkwasser...Flow is something that I will try and upgrade: right now I have an MP20 and 2 400gph power heads, any ideas?

nice looking tank. you know we need the mandatory FTS.

Edit: nevermind. we were posting the same time.

 

[MarvinsReef]

btw, do you have a lid for the McKosker's flasher?

 

[soccerbag]

Nice looking tank. Also curious if you have a top on the tank for the wrasse? Love the aquascaping and you've got a great SPS and LPS collection. Good work!

 

[thewackyreefer]

Nice looking tank! I would consider upgrading the MP20 to an MP40 or replace the Koralia's with an MP10.

 

[kthehun89]

Thanks for the replies guys!

Marvin, Soccerbag- I do have a lid actually.

That retro-hood holds my ATI an inch over the tank, but the hood encapsulates the top so there are no places he can jump out

 

[fab1971]

Sweet stuff! I love the rock work. I have a mckoskers too and he jumped on me last week. Just ordered the screen and have to build a cover when it comes in. All three of my new fish have jumped on me. Luckily, each time they did I was right next to the tank and gently placed them back in.
