My 70gal almost-cube rimless tank (Soon to be SPS Dominated)
Hi everyone...this is my tank.
What started out as this around 2 months ago when Marlon of Design & Reef helped me design and build the tank and cabinet... http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y10...ay/Tank-3d.gif to this... http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y10...y/DSC07247.jpg and this... http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y10...y/P1020098.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y10...y/P1020026.jpg and finally to this... http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y10...y/IMG_5181.jpg Hope you like it. :) |

Planning on keeping mostly small fishes except for 1 purple tang.
Here is what Im planning to keep: 1 PT 2 Banggai Cardinals 2 Perculas 1 Royal Gramma 1 Sunburst Anthias and some other small schooling fishes like apogons (if I can find some). |
Looks like you're off to a great start. I love the tank size. Kudos on the design. Best of luck!

+1 on small fishes, planning to keep smaller fishes too in my 92 gallon 31x31x22 cube. Couple of big tangs that get 1'+ vs. lots of colorful "nano" fish. For me a obvious choice. |
Nice clean looking setup, beautiful. What is that light stand made out of? Did you make it, is it custom, or is it an off the shelf item? It gives me a few ideas.

Do you plan to dose anything, VSV etc? Where did you get the reflector for your halides?
|
My fishlist plan at the moment, to give you some ideas.
- pair purple firefish - rainfords goby - tailspot blenny - school of some cardinal, either orange line or longspine. - pair of clowns - red head goby / or hectors goby - dwarf angel/ or convict tang/ or Bristletooth Tomini Tang (Ctenochaetus tominiensis) I'm not sure if I will get all of them, I'll just see what's the limit |

As for the fishes, I would prefer to have smaller fishes so as to make the tank look huge. |
I forgot...will also be putting 1 six line wrasse in the in-line frag tank. heheh!
|
that is great!! I love the dimensions. Could you get some more pictures, I want to see the depth (front to back). Thanks

looking very good,stucking here to see it progress...

Sweet tank! I just got my 30x30x24 from the builder. My design is very similar to yours. I'm going to be using a Vortech MP40w and a Tunze 6025 for circulation until I can afford another Vortech. Both will be mounted on the back panel.
|
Everything looks great!!! The only thing I would do different is change the reflector for a Lumenbright pendant. I love the sleek design of the tank and stand.
