Hi folks! Some of you may remember that I had a 90 gallon reef that I sold off a couple of years ago. I’ve really been missing it, so it looks like I’m starting up again. I’ve been poking around here for the past couple of weeks and it’s good to see some of the old familiar names as well as a bunch of new ones.
I’m going smaller this time - a 60 gallon cube to keep things simple (like that’s really possible). It’s hard to believe, but now I’m buying up stuff that I sold off just a couple of years ago. Oh well.
I don’t have a tank yet, but will most likely get a Marineland cube and Monterey stand. I’ve been on the fence about rimmed vs rimless, though I think the Marineland cube is only rimless now.
The big decision I have is lighting. While it seems like a lot of reefers are moving away from pure-LED lighting, seems like there’s just as many who are perfectly happy with them. I find it all very confusing. I do know that I don’t want to spend anywhere near a grand on lighting & mounting for a 24” tank, so that may help the decision process. I got time to work it out. Maybe I’ll start a build thread once I actually get a tank.
