ChrisTran May 31, 2008 Share May 31, 2008 I am back to the hobby after more than a year break. Although i was successful keeping a 75g mixed reef before, there were too many things I wished I could redo. Now is my chance to start over again and i need to make sure i make it right. I am one of very few Wamasers who down graded, and here it is a new 60g cube. The tank is being cycled and there is much more things that will need to be done. Here are couple pictures that I took today, and I thought I would want to share with the community. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisTran May 31, 2008 Author Share May 31, 2008 Sweet! Welcome Back... I have some of your old corals you sold me if you want frags... Thanks for the offer. It will be at least another month before i can introduce the first sps to the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBR May 31, 2008 Share May 31, 2008 Cool -- welcome back. I always like to form factor of a cube, especially when you can see from at least three sides. My dream tank is a 4 foot cube (well, only 2 ft tall), in the middle of a dedicate room with a center island that conceals the overflow. Ah, we can all dream, eh? Anyway, the 60g looks really nice -- looking forward to more pics! Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisTran June 1, 2008 Author Share June 1, 2008 (edited) I have removed about 15 lbs of rocks to give more open look to the tank. I hope my ATI Master Bubble 200 skimmer could handle the rest of the filtration.

jamesbuf June 1, 2008 Share June 1, 2008 I really liked the suspended rocks on the first setup. Curious to know why you took most of them off? I agree the bottom rocks looked a little jumbled and needed to be opended up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisTran June 2, 2008 Author Share June 2, 2008 I really liked the suspended rocks on the first setup. Curious to know why you took most of them off? I agree the bottom rocks looked a little jumbled and needed to be opended up. I have 2 Tunze 6055 in the tank. I was concerned that the suspended rocks will get splash off by the Tunzes, so I decided to removed some of them. I also cleaned out some of the rocks at the bottom to make room for fish. While waiting for my tank to go through a nitrite cycle, I am planning on my live stock, and I have some questions regarding the fish below. I would like to keep one of the reef safe wrasses, but they are known as jumpers and my tank is open top. Is anyone keeping any wrasses in a open top tank? Yellow-head jawfish is another jumper. Since it likes to build a burrow at the bottom of the tank and my tank is 2 feet tall, how likely do you think this fish will jump out of the tank? The third fish that I would like to add to the tank is a clown goby. I like its bright yellow, but some online research says that it may nip at sps polyps. Does anyone have any experience keeping this fish? Bartlett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
