dj_giantti Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I am picking up my new tank this Sunday. Its a 60x60x32in cube drilled for a closed loop. I will be placing this tank in my new house where I will have it plumbed into my garage. For lights I will be running 4 - 400 watt 20k bulbs with HQI ballests and 4 four foot VHOs for color. I will be selling my 90 gallon cube at the end of the month if anyone is interested in it. (clap) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dj_giantti Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 Yeah cubes are cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finch6013 Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 thought you liked torches and just euphylia in general too I do but they take up room that could be used for more sps. I actually might be putting one in my tank to see if the clowns will host to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
