JediReefers 60 Gallon Cube
I feel I can finally make a post about a tank I have! As of right now there is not much to it, but this will be my log thread. I plan on doing mostly SPS, maybe the occasional micro or ricordia.
Here is the hardware right now, I dont have the skimmer for SPS right now, but I plan on getting a new one in a few weeks. 60 Gallon Cube SS Lumen Max 2 SE SS Galaxy 400w Ballast XM 400w 20k 18 Gallon Sump Aqua-Euro USA Skimmer ( I know I know ) QuietOne 3000 for the return, I figure it is putting about 300gph out the return which is what I wanted. I had a single K4 in my 60g long and I decided to change that out for 2 K3's. I only have one on at the moment, makes the LPS mad. As fast as livestock, it is pretty slim at the moment, a pair of mated clowns (they are about 5 years old now), a small 6 line wrasse, and a lemonpeel angel. Inverts include a marshall island electric blue hermit, a few nassarius snails, and about 12-15 turbo snails, as well as a sand sifting star I have had about a year now. Currently 90lbs of LR in the tank, I wanted some vertical space to allow the SPS to grow up. There is an open brain I plan on keeping, and the hammers I am trying to get rid of right now actually. On with the pics? Here is the tank shortly after it was setup. [IMG]http://img57.imageshack.us/img57/2433/60cfts2yb0.png[/IMG] And here it is a few days later.

[IMG]http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/5213/neonhammer1df0.png[/IMG] And that is it so far, the tank keeps a temp of 80 during the day. It is winter here and I anticipate the need for a chiller when the summer comes. Enjoy... |
I love the cube!
jedireefer where did you get the cube? I used to have a 60 gallon Oceanic cube back in th mid nineties and it always made a great looking reef. I would like to find another......
Your tank looks great! |
I got it right here on RC from a local reefer!
|
What should be next, Korallin Ca Reactor + pH controller or a new skimmer?
|

[B]What should be next, Korallin Ca Reactor + pH controller or a new skimmer? [/B][/QUOTE] I would say the Korallin Ca Reactor + pH controller. The skimmer you have now should serve the purpose until the time being |
I was thinking the same...
Here is the Marshall Crab. [img]http://img182.imageshack.us/img182/5216/marshalllj8.png[/img] |
I've always wanted to do a 60g cube seahorse tank like this.
|
Looks good. The only thing I might mention is that the fan will be more effective if you point it at the water rather than at the light...
|
I understand that...evap = cool. But my return section is rather small and I dont have an ATO system yet. But it keeps the tank rather cool actually. 80-82F
I plan on getting a chiller sometime after march when it starts to warm up. |
Sounds good. I'll look forward to seeing future updates!
|
nice looking tank bro...what camera you using for them sweet pics???
|
Canon XTi, too bad I dont know how to use the damn thing hahaha.
|
I started the Prodibio yesterday. So far the only visual difference I see (not that any was expected) is that my brain has opened up significantly more.
|
Here are a few pics of the lemonpeel.

Tank looks awesome! Yeah it is to bad you don't know how to use that camera of yours,Real Funny!!!!! J/k Looking forward on seeing more pics!!!!
|
Thank you :D
The royal gramma is getting more comfortable with the tank and is coming out more. I will try to get a good pic soon. The angel was pretty shy at first and now it cruises around the entire tank grazing and eating off the seaweed clips. All is well, so far. |
Here is a shot of the gramma.
