Floydie83's 60 Gal. Custom Rimless Cube

After moving and downsizing I am finally ready to upsize again to a rimless 60 gal cube with external overflow. The tank is being made right now by Planet Aquariums out of Dallas (I hear nothing but great things). I've made a 3D model to get an idea of the system and will update as I get the exact dimensions of the overflow etc to plan.



I'm planning on going for a mixed reef with lots of easy to care for faster growing SPS like plating and encrusting montis. So here's the list of equipment I am considering (some items are running on my current tank):

Tank and Ligting

• Planted Aquariums Custom Rimless 60 Gal. Cube (24x24x24) with external overflow (going to run a herbie style drain)
  
• Trigger Systems Ruby20c Sump (20x20x15)
• Maxspect R420R 120W (16000k)*
  
• DIY Stand (3/4 in. Plywood, will cover later)

Flow/Filtration

• Jebao DC6000
• 2 Vortech MP10w (already have one)
• Vertex Omega 130
• BRS Dual Reactor

Electronics/Top Off/Dosing

• Neptune Apex Controller*
• Tunze Osmolator 3155*
• BRS Two-Part Dosing*
• Eheim Jager 200W

* Already in Current Nano Setup

Really excited about this tank. Can't wait till it comes home.

 

Sounds like a great setup. I'll be following.

 

Looks like a great start. How does the overflow attach?

 

Thanks!

Thanks! It will look something like this. Although, I think this tank is acrylic.

 

Good design.

 

Agreed. Since I'm going in the smaller side I didn't want any of the overflow hanging into the tank. This gives me the whole area to play with.

 

I like the design as well. I would probably do something similar in the future.

 

Thanks! I hope it works well...making the stand this weekend.

 

Sump is in. Bigger than my current setup. That already makes me feel good about this build!

 

Stand is coming together...a little more work tomorrow.
