60 Cube Pony build

[saltylife]

So my wife wants a pony like a little girl would want one. Since we don't have the yard for it... what's one more tank going to hurt....

Ready for water

Nice!! I'll be tagging along!!

My plans are to use my combo green, red, and purple digi as the center piece with the return nozzle aimed right at it. This should leave enough low flows throughout the cube for the seahorses.

Lights installed

Good luck! We're starting our gorgonian and horse 60 cube this weekend can't wait to see how yours develops.

Finally swapped the contents out of my 150 into the cube and bought a couple gorgonians

Hoping the light flow is enough for the digi. Time will tell soon enough.

For plumbing I'm using a mag5 throttled back and teed off for future uv sterilizer and the return aims right at the digi. The second pump is a Mag 2 which is set to break the surface water. I'm not sure if the acans and blasto will stay in here. But the clams will for sure come out once the ponies go in.

Lighting is a china led full spectrum unit.

Stocking plans include the following:

3 pairs of tank raised Seahorses.
Purple Firefish
Orange Firefish
Mandrian Gobie
Pipe fish

Fromonia Starfish
Fire Shrimp

I've got a few shrooms still in the 150 to move over and got a couple leathers but have some Dragons Breath coming this week. Also plan on adding two more gorgonians.

Ill post more updates once I've got some time to get the list taken care of.

Oh and the Reef octopus skimmer off my 150 will go under there

I could draw you up some plans. Easy to build and if painted can be done on a budget
