Building a 60g cube need recommendations

[Smotz]

Hi All - putting together a 60g cube and need some opinions.

I already ordered the cube and stand which are 24x24x24.

Will be getting an Apex. I think i'm sold on the Lite model with PH probe. I would rather get the Jr model and save a buck but I think I need the upgrade ability. Theres always the reefkeeper for a little cheaper...??

Will 1 (for now) Vortech mp10w work in this tank? Should I consider the Chinese WP-40 or is that too big?

Any recommendations on a sump? Right now I am considering this but it's pricey with shipping:

Will be using my IT2040 Chinese LED - that better do it as it's my light.

The chinese WP-40 should work well, you can always lower the flow rate and it would allow if need be you to up the flow rate. I would probably do that over a single mp10 imho.

I am considering a 60g cube for my bedroom, but still up in the air . Best of luck with your buil.d

Didn't know the flow was adjustable - would I have to but an adjustable powersupply and lower the voltage?

The WP-40 would definitely help the budget.

Although I have some experience working with acrylic, I think I will pass on making an air tight structure.
