21x21x21 The new cube !

[gasman059]

Here's a couple of pics of one of our new endeavors. This cube will be mostly sps and was made locally by the "tigeron" Manny.Great craftsmanship and details.

We will hopefully be plumbing and getting it going soon at my brothers.
Been trying to get him back in the saddle for a while and finally he will be setting up another tank.

Crappy phone pics.

well lulio it had to fit a preexisting stand- that we had for a biocube plus a light fixture.

If my calculations are right is about 40 gallons.

Flow will be with two 6025's and sump/skimmer combo form etss protean system.

Manny, Does the overflow grills goes all the way to the top or close? it doesn't look like it does in the pic, if so, that may cause the water level to be above the grill thus forming an ugly gunk film on the water surface.
Other than that it looks very nice, look forward to see this project progresses

Very nice,

I was at his shop while he was putting it together.

Are you putting a background of some type on the back wall?

I will follow closely also may be interested in something similar after I swap the 90 in my room for the 210 in the dining, after all these years I need to look at a tank to fall to sleep

Cute, but I don't trust acrylic tanks, especially after what happened at the school. Is that on carpet or tile?

How thick is that acrylic? I don't know if it's a overkill but I plan to have Manny make a custom sump just thicker plastic.

I believe is 1/4 but firmly braced_ as u see-eurobraced.
As far as the sump perhaps 1/2 or 3/4 IMHO
