60 Gallon Cube diary

[ismvel]

Well I have downsized, got rid of the 220 and picked up BLUEBOY's (http://maast.org/forums/showthread.php?t=39133&highlight=60+cube) 60 gallon cube. The 220 was just too much...EVERYTHING, wasn't one particular thing I can pinpoint, just too much.

So I transferred rock and water, and livestock into a 60 gallon and here it is...

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. The 220 went to a MAAST Member, helped deliver it Saturday evening.

Was fortunate. Hobogato told me about that link I posted, Abe had been trying to sell the tank for about 2 years I think....

Looking Good~

Versach, I got the acrylic rods from regal plastics. Those are 1/2" in diameter and they come in 6ft rods. Want to say they were right around $6.50/6ft.

Beautiful tank setup. I remember seeing it when it was blueboy's. And you're right... he first put that up for sale about a year and a half ago.

Looking forward to seeing what you do with this. I love the unusual look!

[Mr Cob]

Ismael, glad to see you didn't get out. The 60gal cube is a great size to work with and it looks awesome the way you have it setup...super clean look man!

Nice looking rock work and I love the Picasso Clown.

[Goofball310]

love the rockscaping and the clown

[JeffCo]

Nice job on the tank, the frags are looking good!

Thanks Rob, yeah man I am hooked on this hobby, I won't be getting out anytime soon. I just had to downgrade a bit to be able to do what I want to do with it and keep it maintainable (for me). Like I have said, I think I got a little too ambitious.

love the rockscaping and the clown
Thx.

Yeah I hope to have fairly decent size colonies someday like you do Jeff..LOL...on a smaller scale of course.. :)

:hypnotyized:I tried to get a tank shot from above, but I couldn't...any pointers on how to do that without getting that BIG REFLECTION from the MH?:hypnotyized:

[gjuarez]

Love the Wellsi. I have seen one of those red planet's in person, nice piece of the reef. ANy recent full tank shots

[ismvel]

Nothing's really changed since the last FTS, I just really got it set up this past weekend, but I can take one anyhow tomorrow. I'd really like to get a Top Down shot, but that reflection is just killing me, I can't get a good one in...I'd love to figure out a way to do it.

Yes i too have seen one, JeffCo has one in his tank, it is small still and not fraggable, but he's got one, and it is amazing.
