New Tank. New Site

[Michael Buffington]

Hello everyone - I've lurked for years, and finally now that I've
settled down a bit am in the process of setting up a tank. In addition
to the tank, I'll be keeping a log of progress at
http://www.cubereef.com and would be happy to see people visiting that
as the tank progresses.

The specs:
2x2x2" 60G Acrylic cube with center overflow
20G Sump (for now - remote 50g sump project nearly done)
250W 10K Metal Halide
110W Actinic PCs
Jeff's Exotic Fish Skimmer (not sure which one, very effective)
Silent One return pump
4 Maxijet Powerheads on Red Sea wave maker
1/10HP JBJ Chiller
Kent Maxxima RO/DI

85lbs Tonga Rock from Jeff's (absolutely gorgeous)
5 inch Carib-Sea argonite, half "live", half dry


The tank is cycled, but won't start having full light cycles until I
finish my remote sump project, where I'm putting a new sump in the
garage and turning the 20g sump into a refugium. Looking forward to
having my own "fishroom", as the space under the cube is very small.
Looking forward to seeing some nice plumbing disappear into the floor.
