60g Cube Build

[Tonis56]

After many years of owning a large tank (from a 120-180 gallon). I have decided to downsize. Last weekend I ordered a Marineland Rimless 60 gallon cube and stand.

I opted for the non reef ready model as there seem to be quite a few complaints on the overflow.

I will be building a sump at some point. I am undecided if I am going to build one from scratch with acrylic or just modify a 20g long tank.

Everything is on order as of last night and I will be posting pictures as things come in. Additionally I will be selling everything for my 180g gallon in the coming weeks.

My plans for equipment:
