Coville Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Hello everyone. Early July I contacted SoCalCreations about making me a cube (tank only). When the tank was finished I decided to get a complete set up made by them and now everything is done. The tank is 24x24x24 with an external overflow. Drilled for a closed loop. Here are pics, I pick it up (hopefully) tomorrow. The sump is 20x20x20, here is a pic of the layout: The skimmer area will hold a ASM G1X. I am aiming for about 600 gph thru the overflow, then 300-400 thru the closed loop ran on a SCWD. Here is a pic of the drains: overflow drain = 1.5 inch closed loop drain = 1 inch all returns = 3/4 inch Comments appreciated! PS, SoCalCreations are awesome to work with. Thanks Randy for all your help. I recommend them 100%. Link to comment
MiNiReFeRx Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 cool what type of lighting are you going to use Link to comment
Coville Posted September 7, 2006 Author Share Posted September 7, 2006 I'm still looking, but I am def. going with sometype of MH. I am doing an open top with a pendent from the ceiling/wall. Probably 250watts with a 14k bulb. The ones I am looking at are pretty pricey though, but pretty dang cool. Link to comment
Cesar Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Very nice. Socal Creations are awesome. They have some real nice stuff. I have seen their work up close and they have some of the best acrylic tanks out there. Can't wait to see this baby up and running. Link to comment

Coville Posted September 9, 2006 Author Share Posted September 9, 2006 I decided to go with this lighting: http://www.marinedepot.com/md_viewItem.asp?idproduct=AQ1811 I think it should be able to handle SPS. Link to comment
