60 gallon shallow rimless build

[Esage]

your setup looks good! I really like the shallow tanks after dealing with my 90 over the last few years.

Thanks. What I really like about the shallow tank is how easy it is to do maintenance inside the tank.

Update: My tank has been running for four months. Things are coming along slowly, I just spent the last two months battling cyano. It really took off when I went out of town for the Holidays. I was able to get it under control by siphoning it out every third day with weekly water changes. It started to disappear really quick once I repositioned a power head. I'm currently trying to decide on a new skimmer. The SCA 301 I'm running is nice and pulls some dark crude, but I feel I'm under skimming. I'm trying to decide between a Cadlights Gen3 PLS-100 pipe less skimmer, Bubble Magnus Curve 5, or the Reef Octopus Classic 110 space saver. I would really like to get a AquaMaxx ConeS CO-1 Skimmer, but they're not in stock anywhere and know one seems to know when they will be. I'm working with limited space in the sump 8"x8" is about as big of a footprint as I can fit.

I have finished stocking my fish. The tank currently has seven fish, everybody has their favorite hiding spot and they all get along. The Tang and Wrasse spend the day following each other pecking at the rocks. I don't plan on adding anymore fish.
1 Maroon Clown Fish
1 Yellow Eye Kole Tang (3")
1 Melanurus Wrasse
1 Yellow Watchman Goby
1 Green Clown Goby
2 Blue/Green Cromis

That's great, I'm planning a new build and that skimmer has been on my radar.

Keep us updated!

I've heard a lot of good things about it, so I'm excited for it to arrive.

AquaMaxx skimmer arrived yesterday. I didn't get a chance to open the box yet, due to work. I will get some pictures posted this weekend, once I get a chance to open the box and get the skimmer put together.

Can't wait to get this running. I'm a little worried about the 8.5" water level in the sump. I hope to get it into the sump this weekend and start the break in .

You can bring it over and set it up in my sump!!!! :tongue:

Skimmer is in the sump and running. It started pulling crude within hours of turning it on. The skimmer is really easy to put together and it's easy to make adjustments.

 

[Rob.D]

I love the look of that skimmer, it really looks like it performs as advertised!
