Default Jake's shallow cube

This tank has been running for about 1.5 years now and I just haven't gotten around to sharing it!

Fish:
- 2 Bagaii cardinals
- 3 Pajama cardinals
- 2 clownfish (just regular ones)
- 1x royal gramma
- Flame Hawkfish
- Tassled filefish

I wanted a really simple tank to take care of while I am in school, so all of the corals are just easy to take care of softies and LPS. I added a bit of seagrass as well, which was starting to take off until I added the filefish.... lets just say that fish is not seagrass safe.

Tank: Concept Aquariums with a custom stand made by a carpenter in Saskatoon.
Lighting: Kessil A360w
Controlling: Neptune + autofeeder, breakout box
Doser: Neptune DOS
Skimmer: Reef Octopus Diablo DC170 (updated the pump)
Return: Sicce Syncra
Carbon reactor
Two filter socks
Use to have an MP10 in there, but it broke down and I didn't think it was critical so it wasn't replaced.
Tunze ATO

Full tank

Sump


ATO section - 20 gallons


And a few old set up pictures... ended up tossing the ridiculously high ATO. It was hard to fill and only lasted a few days with the completely open top.

That's a nice looking setup! Love the clean look of the tank, solid build.

Very cool. What are the dimensions of the tank? Looks to be around 30 gallons?

Very impressive and clean looking display. Excuse me while I add your name to the list of potential TOTQ's.

The tank is about 32 gallons. I have lost track of the dimensions... the foot print is 24"x24" , and I think the height is 16". The tank is inset into the stand two inches however to partially hide a 4" deep sand bed, which was put in there to grow seagrass (the filefish derailed that part of the tank).
