SaraB's 45G Marineland Cube

[SaraB]

That is the measurement of the glass. The frame adds approx. .5 to .75 of an inch to each side.

I just ran down for a measurement for you and I take back what I said! The glass is a smidge over 23" and the actual trim is really the 24x24



There's been no more progress on the tank as of yet. I'm leaving on vacation so it will be a bit before I update with anything.

Thank Jose and NO, no updates! Still thinking about the rock actually.

looks nice Sara, still following your thread. love cube tanks.

Thank you!



Thanks for the pics of that tank Ian, I like the aquascaping! I'm all about minimal aquascaping (see my big tank thread) but what it is coming down to is that I'm concerned about having enough rock room for all my corals I need to get into the cube is all. Maybe I'll need to break up the one large piece of rock on the bottom right so that it's not so crowded in there. I've got plenty of extra ledges and small pieces of liverock in the sump to work with, so lack of rock and nice pieces is not an issue. Maybe Gary and I can work some magic when I get back from vacation.

What are your impressions of the tank itself? I've been thinking about picking one up, but I have seen a fair amount of negative feedback regarding the overflow design, noise, etc. They are great looking tanks.

 

[SaraB]

I'm actually very impressed by the tank. I'm especially pleased with how quiet the tank/overflow is compared to other tanks I have run.

I got some new water movers for the cube this week! The MP10's are for the cube and the 40 belongs to my big display.
