I will be posting the pics from the tear down of the 29 Biocube to the build of the 60 Gallon cube as well as the final product of what we have now. These pics are from about two weeks ago. I apologize that it took so long to get these uploaded.

Some of you may recognize the 60 gallon cube.

This is the 29 Biocube before it was replaced with the 60 gallon.

We moved all of the livestock from both tanks to my 20 long that was set-up at the time.

Now the 29 is out of the way. we placed the sump/fuge and stand where the tank will sit. There is also a pic of the LEDs and canopy as well as our Reef Keeper system with the expansion.

mine did fine under t5. but it was a 4 bulb fixture and i had it higher up in the tank. it did great and started growing as well.

Thank you. I'll have to put more pics up later. Everything looks better now that the tank has settled a bit. Plus I added a powder blue that looks amazing in there.
