Tank2379 60G RR Cube Build
I am going to start this build off on the right foot- after my 45G Cube crack from trying to drill it for an overflow to save money I ended up cracking my first tank,(Not the first time drilling a Tank mistake on my part) anyhow got a great deal on a 60G cube so I just upgraded and went taller. Here it is getting ready to be filled in the next two weeks
My equipment List -60G Marineland Cube RR 24”X24”X24” -Sump (Acrylic) designed by nanoseacreations 20”X20”X16” -Lumen Bright Mini Wide 250Watt MH Pendent style Black -Exocotic Stunner Strips 2 x 12.5” 453NM Blue for Dusk/Day effect -MP10ES -Tunze Nano Pump 6015 -Octopus NW 150 Skimmer -Apex Jr controller with no Display -Carib Sea Live Sand Crushed- 90lbs 3inch sand bed -100LB of Live Rock which was bleached and dip in Acid from my 72G This project will start in the next two weeks just though I start this now and share my equipment list for now, I have all my SPS that I just decided to keep,they are all brown at the moment do to lack of maintenance. I will update once I get all the plumbing done...

Also forgot to add my return Pump using a Mag 7 might have to dial it down a bit but will be enough flow to T off for my bio-pellet reactor

Do you already have the Mag 7? they tend to output alot of heat, I would consider soemthing else, if you can.

I run the smaller of the tunze silence pumps for my return and it's great. I picked it up on the for sale forums for $45.

I'm using a Tunze Silence on my setup (T1073.040) and it is by far the quietest pump I've ever run..... Great pump and you cant beat the service from Tunze....
Eheim would be my 2nd choice though, followed by Quiet One.... The QO pumps can be hit or miss, but when you hit with one they're pretty silent...

I was running a Mag24 on my skimmer a couple years back, it even had an effect on a 240G total volume system.
When I switched it for a GenX55, I first used it in my mixing barrel, I was shocked at how fast it raise the temp of a barrel of 28 gallons so fast and so hot, it was like bathwater...and yet, using the 24 was way overkill for mixing

Today I received my Apex Jr- I am already in love with this thing and using Aqua Notes is the coolest feature ever Messed around with it for a bit just to see how easy is it to connect- I have a Gaming adapter on order also to make it wireless ...
