Default O.C.'s ADA 60-P setup display

For those of you who has been into the store front there has always been a gem hidden in the corner of the store. So i thought I'd add a thread to showcase this little tank.

The system specs are as follows for now:

60P ADA cube garden
ADA stand
24" 4 bulb tek light
Modded CPR skimmer (producing a ton of micro bubbles at the moment)
koralia 1050

This tank is home for our unique red lipsticked clown fish and her GBTA which she will defend at all cost if you ever get close to it with your hand.. More pictures to come as i get time to take it. Future plans though for this system is to switch it over to LEDs, as good as T5s are we at OC believe that LEDs are the way to go and whats better then to do a real life test for LEDs in our aquariums!

After more modification, added a custom pin wheel to the MJ1200 + a ghetto volute the skimmer is now performing flawlessly. 99.9% of the bubbles stay within the CPR bakpack now and its actually skimmer fairly well. A DIY prefilter box was made to hide the pump as well a provide surface skimming to the system.

CPR skimmer mod includes:
raised first baffle + tappering of the first baffle
pin wheel
proper volute

i suspect that its pulling around 150lph of air at this moment, but will have to check it with an air flow meter tomorrow to know for sure. I'll also get a picture of the skimmate after a few days to show what this guy is pulling out. We've had this thing modded for about a week now and we've had to empty the cup i believe 3x with a dark tea colored skimmate...hard to believe its from a CPR bakpak. Meanwhile heres some photos enjoy guys

chamber + modded baffle:


surface skimmer box:


almost no micro bubbles if any at all:
