Re: Xlayedoutx 60g cube

I know you guys like pictures and I swear i'll try to get them up on Friday. I had free tickets to see There Will Be Blood tonight, so I went and wasted 2 1/2 hours of my life.

On another note I got an update on my tank. They are saying it should be here between Jan 29th and Feb 11th.

Re: Xlayedoutx 60g cube

Nice tank... I'm also in the process of setting up a 60 cube now. What do you plan on keeping in there?

It's going to be a mixed reef. Fish, mostly softies, and a few pieces of SPS.

Thanks for the advice. For now I'm just going to stick with the Rio. I had one on my last tank and 3 things I liked about it. Cheap, Low wattage, and it worked like a champ for over a year with no restarting issues. I've heard bad things about them and I've heard good things about them. If not for my past experience with them I would have gone with a Mag. If I end up having problems I'll switch with no hesitation.

Re: Xlayedoutx 60g cube

I still use the Hyper Flow version of the Rios and I haven't any problems with them either.
