Club Cube Roll Call!!!

[ReeferRob]

Woot woot, after much nagging the Rev has agreed to allow us 'Cubes' to have our own forum.

He must have agreed that we face different and sometime more unique challenges as reefers. And that we need a home of our own to discus these obstacles and successes.

So say it loud and say proud...........who you are, what your working with, and maybe a problem your currently facing, and future goals for your tank.



I'm Rob from Michigan, and I have a 60 cube tank.

Right now my biggest challenges are my byropsis and finding the right flow and flow pattern with my VT mp20 and a return QO4000.

I have hopes of keeping 5-7 wrasse of various types, a Chevron tang, a yellow head Jawfish, and a pair of Percula Clowns. I have plans for a varied mix reef of all types of corals including clams.
My favorite coral is the Florida Ricordea!

Holla!!!:tongue:

I have the same tank as Rob it has been up for about 1 1/2 years and finally coming into it's own. It is starting toget to be the best tank I have had yet. I always loved cubes and wanted one for a long time. The nice thing about it is I get more water volume but take up less space in the living room. I think cubes of this size it is difficult toget the proper flow for everything. It really all depends on the style and how the rock work is done. I have done kind of rock wall with over hangs that creates multiple leveerls to add corals and has really situated flow for most of the corals....I still find it hard as it fills up with corals for space for everything I want.... I will post a pic or 2 later.

I have a 6 gallon AIO cube. Its super cute and sexy.

I agree with Azurel on this one. I have a 60cube and soon a 150cube and the common challenge I find is the flow. I'm a huge fan of the cube style tanks though. They make it easy to create a look with a lot of depth IMO.

I would trade a body part for a 4 foot cube.

I was thinking of cutting of my pinky toes, cause Im sick of finding door jams and tables in the dark. Ill send them to you and see how far they get you!

I have an ELOS Mini (which is a cube).

My biggest challenge is I'm not home enough (work/travel), and I want to view the darn tank more often!

It will soon house enough coral to virtually hide all visable rock when polyps are open (which is generally 20-23 hours a day) - all my coral is non-photosynthetic. I have plans of adding a couple more fish, currently I only have a Serranocirrhitus latus (Sunburst Anthias). I've had a QT up for nearly 6 months now awaiting new fish additions -just need the time to be around when I first bring them in!

Cubes, or cube-esque tanks are my favorite :tongue: I recently downgraded to this tank from a cube-esque 48"L x 36"W x 24.5"H rimless AGE due to work travel. Threads on this tank and previous tank somewhere in the Memebers Tank Forum.

I also live in the same state as ReeferRob, cbau45 and Azurel... Go Blue!!!

Great idea Rob! I feel like a minority here with all you Michigan guys though.
I used to have a 48x48x25 Envision cube and recently sold it and downsized to a Perfecto 30x30x24.
Maybe we can get our build threads moved over to the new forum Rob?
Hey Kraylen this was my last cube, 48x48x25 Envision.

 

[oceanparadise1]

Is the bottom of that tank painted? I like it!

 

[Blackhawk Fan]

Rik,
Your tank would be in this club.

It was a BB tank. I left the acrylic paper on the bottom since it was white. Everything looked like it floated until the bottom was covered in coraline.

Cube or cubesque, we don't discriminate. Except Penguin or Duck fans!!!!

 

[ladyreefer1983]

im upgrading to a cube tank..idk how many gallons but the dims are 33Lx26Hx28D...im excited...:kiss:

 

[bamachamp92]

If only two of the dimensions have to be the same for example 24 x 24 x 18 then if someone had a 72 x 30 x 30 it could be in the cube family too right?:nerd:

 

[Blackhawk Fan]

I believe L and W have to be the same to be cubesque.

 

[ReeferRob]

I believe L and W have to be the same to be cubesque.

Get'em Hawk Fan!

I was just playing a little, lol. I have a 320 but my frag tank is a deep sea neo 34 cube type tank to be plumbed into my system.
