    New Cube 36x36x18

    Current status list: * Waiting on cycling process, used a raw shrimp and dumping dirty water from my 60g tank into my new tank to hopefully speed up the process. Good idea or bad? Need some opinions. * Need to make some rock. Planning on using Portland cement and oyster shells--this will...

    New Cube 36x36x18

    Here is the overdue update I promised... I ended up changing the dimensions of the tank to 36"x36"x20" (lxwxh) and the advice I received from you guys on the CL and overflow was VERY, VERY valuable! Thanks again :D ! I will spare you all the in between stuff and give you the meat of it: Here...

    New Cube 36x36x18

    Thanks for the pix and the threads. I think I need to decide on my pump, and from the looks of it I will have 2--the Dart CL at tank level (like yours)and the Mag18 for return. With that in mind I have a couple more concerns... #1 Where do you order the black flex tubing disturbedreefer used...

With that in mind do you know any good threads I could look at to...

    New Cube 36x36x18

    As for the amount of flow, I'm a bit confused, but will the mag18 have the ocean's motions on it coming from the sump or will it be used on a closed loop that you are pondering a sequence Dart vs Mag3600 for? :) The problem is that I haven't fully made up my mind on which size pump to use as a...

    New Cube 36x36x18

    That definatly helps alot, thank you. Do you or anyone have any insight on the amount of flow I could use. I'm actually pondering the use of a Sequence Dart (rated 2820 gph @ 4') or a Mag 3600. Will this be too much for my system, should I stick with the Mag1800? Or will the fact that the...

    New Cube 36x36x18

    I need some suggestions on the layout/design for an overflow box on a 36x36x18 cube. I was thinking of 18" in length but, I have no Idea how wide the box should be (or if it matters). I will be using a Mag18 for return and was thinking of having it drilled with 2 1" drains. Should the box be...
