Started a 60 gallon cube roughly a year ago, four months in bottom cracked and lost most of the tank. Salvaged what I could and replaced the tank. Four months later, tank was cursed with Velvet(I believe) and lost most all livestock as in less than 12 hours of noticing it. Needless to say I learned a few hard lessons and am now prepared and quarantine all new fish.
Current tank set up now:
60 gallon cube
Sapphire cube 20 sump
