My sump is a 100g rubbermaid stock tank in the basement.

What size cube you looking to do?

I just picked it up today. This thing is solid (and heavy as hell), and the craftmanship is flawless. James was very cool and helpful.

lotsofgallons, I worship your mad aquascaping skills. That aquascape to me is the best you could have for that size tank. Just spectacular. I love how your fish can easily weave in and out of the rock work. I would absolutely love to see a video of your tank.

thanks for the kind words

1. I bought the cube locally.. from "The Giant Fish" on Ventura Blvd.

2. I use a Kalk drip via Aquadoser

3. Lighting is 10K Hamilton MH 150 watt HQI with (2) TRU 96-watt PC Actinics
