Cube Aquascaping

[KevinRosso]

Hey Everyone,
I'm finally starting a 60 gallon reef after 3 years of interest and research! I would love to see and hear any examples of cube aquascaping and advice. Would love to have a mixed tank that doesnt look over crowded but obviously looks packed with coral. Show me your best aquascaping!

3 years of research

That will be a cube of the year.
Better hurry up to start that build thread

Ok I give you that, as that's a valid excuse.

Thank you I am really enjoying the switch from fresh water, since setting up my cube I have set up a 10 gal for my daughter and ordered a 135 gal cube that will be getting setup in my basement man cave I am in the process of building. The Herbie overflow is dead silent the only noise you can hear from the tank is a slight hum from the return pump if the house is completely silent. Also love having the piece of mind of the emergency overflow.

Yea emergency overflow is the golden ticket im concerned about. Too late to return my tank now

You could setup a float valve to turn off your return pump in case of a drain blockage.
