60 gallon cube

[b-ridge]

I just recently bought a small tank. I have a 240 and a 265 gallon tank. Well I just purchased a 60 gallon cube. I know this is a popular tank around here. My question is how big of a sump are you using for this tank and what skimmer and size would you recommend? If I'm correct the stand is 24x26 or vice versa.

you using a factory stand or making one? if making one i would go with one that can hold maybe a 20 or 29g tank you converted, but can get away with smaller too

what are you keeping in this one? if light bioload smaller skimmer would be fine too

It comes with a stand. Measurements if I'm correct we're 24x26 or 26x24. I was thinking a 29 but there more high than long. I'm brainstorming with this tank since it is so small. May convert this one to my reef and the 240 to a fowlr since I am in the process of getting rid of the 265. I definitely want a large skimmer cause I do plan on sticking this as much as I possibly can

Best bet is to get something custom. It's the only way to utilize all the space. I think my sump is 22x22x21.

Very nice sump. It fits so perfect underneath your stand. Might have to email this custom king dude or whoever else that does sumps.

The limited space, I ended up with the elos sump reconfigured to give me more space for a fuge area. Obviously that's not required.
