Reefer Ratings: (24) Friends: (0) | 33 Cube - the work begins
So, it was 2 months in the making for reasons I couldn't explain if I tried. But it's finally ready to go. My downgrade tank: 33 Oceanic Cube. House of Fish did the drilling, NY Acrylics made a custom cube sump. Pics of the tank were by Russ, I took the terrible pix of the sump (my camera sucks.) There is, as you can see, an external overflow and a closed-loop. Marrone will be helping me plumb. I'm putting on it a Current 2-bulb (80w total) fixture. At this point I only plan to keep gorgs/fans and mushrooms. There will be black (with some white) sand. And a community tank - my fish list is still in progress. Any and all suggestions are welcome!  |

Kris, this tank was originally commissioned to be a low flow seahorse species tank. The closed loop is designed to increase/adjust flow as necessary if the planned seahorse design changed.
