Stingrays 60gallon cube, Long over due!

[Stingray]

Well this has been a long time coming but, I'm finally trying to get back into the game. I set up my 60 gallon cube back in May. It has a nano sea creations 3 chamber sump that's a perfect fit under the stand.

Took about a week to figure out how I wanted the scape but finally decided.

I also decided on using the maxspect razor 120 16k and I'm glad I did. It has the perfect coverage for the 2'-2' footprint.

Will add more of the progress up to present day alil later. My son is awake from his nap! lol

Have to say after 4 1/2 months, I'm still loving the Smart A.t.o and the sca skimmer kicks ass as well!

So new and clean, this was on my bday on june 21, the wife got me 5 blue/green chromis as starter fish. I also threw the clowns from my old setup in.

I actually thought in the begining when those two were takin, about doing a bb. But added it after anyways.

Then in July I went to the ark and Lynn gave me one of her nems.

Then my tank took a turn for the worse. My bta walked all over and it was honestly something I looked over. Came home from work and all my sticks were gone and he was in a new spot. I stopped doing water changes and barely cleaned off the glass. I was pissed but about a month n a half ago I got over it n cleaned up shop. Talking to Chris (Lunacris) and jrpark- Josh at our frag swap in Japan got me in the right mood and direction. I got another bta despite what happened and some good deals on some ultra zoas.

 

[Stingray]

As of right now it's kinda bare but I'm still happy with it. there is no sps but its ok because I'm going to be focusing on my Zoas and favias for awhile.

[Sawdonkey]

Looks good. I like the clowns and nems. Did you just buy the livestock or did you have it in a different tank and transfer?

Started with all fresh dry Marco prime cuts. Nothing alive, just used Dr. Tims "one and only" to jumpstart the cycle with the 5 chromis added a month later.
