Ruan`s new sps cube

[Ruanqm]

So I have been wanting a new tank for some time now. After hours and hours of going through threads I have decided that I would like a 60x60x40cm cube…… but not any old cube, something that is capable of sustaining pretty much any inmate I choose to house. The hunt was on for my perfect tank.

There are of course some pretty amazing companies out there who can make some spectacular tanks, but I simply cannot afford the prices they are asking for this sort of tank. I eventually found a new company who while they have many years experience in marines, are only just starting to convert this experience into a commercial venture. We are working very closely together to design my dream tank.

Some more info about the tank.

10mm all round rimless

How you planning on "flowing" this tank?

 

[Ruanqm]

The flow is going to be made by only the return pump. If it needs more i will ad more

But you are wanting sps right? You are gonna need a fair bit of flow (and preferably random flow) in that tank, even if its only around the 130 litre mark. If you use a huge return pump then you may find you have too much flow through your sump.

I personally would go for a smaller return and depending on budget a Vortech MP10 (matchbox size), some small SEIO props etc. This is of course just my opinion.

thanks man ,There will be a CLS with the return, so the tank will be anemone friendly as well
