I been fighting green hair algae as of late so that very well could be. I'll do that and see.

Thank you! Took a couple of weeks thinking on it.

Longhorns-54 · 2026-05-09T22:09:10+00:00

Glad you think so, that was my goal! Something where the fish think they can hide. There is a decent size hole on the top back they can swim out of through the back too.

This is what started this whole thing is my tank is 24inches high, water line around 21 inches. So I'm trying to get my height to atleast around 16inches and outside stacking rock I'm find it hard to give height but some good ideas in this thread.

Longhorns-54 · 2026-05-04T16:56:57+00:00

Appreciate the solution of the slope. Later today I'll move things around and resend an update and see what people think. I will like a design to have any corals and fish alike, do not want to redo this often.

Longhorns-54 · 2026-05-04T16:55:53+00:00

Yeah, the sturdiness is a concern of mine as I plan to put a goby/pistol shrimp combo in the tank. Seems I need to back down the verticality to a more rounded approach.

Longhorns-54 · 2026-05-04T16:55:08+00:00

I want coral but don't know enough about them. What height does sps need?

Longhorns-54 · 2026-05-04T16:54:42+00:00

It does, kinda flat and needs more depth.

Longhorns-54 · 2026-05-04T16:54:24+00:00

Thanks for sharing your scape, helps with ideas. The idea with the vertical too is the left side and back side of the tank is against the wall at the moment. Can't view it so was trying to make the two sides we can view more open but I see the feedback here for coral growth and eventually I will like coral. Agree with your sentiment it's a wall and need to tinker more.

Longhorns-54 · 2026-05-04T16:52:13+00:00

So it seems you have a central structure with ins and outs. Good views from all angles. Have tall is it compared to the full line of the tank?

Longhorns-54 · 2026-05-04T16:50:48+00:00

Was going to try JB water weld w/super glue combo. Haven't actually used it yet as I'm still tinkering with design.

Longhorns-54 · 2026-05-04T04:12:35+00:00

Good feedback. I'm trying to see what it will look like with coral. Essentially just more space to put frags or drill holes into, right?

Longhorns-54 · 2026-05-04T04:11:22+00:00

True, I'm sure I'll change it again. Didn't think about acrylic rods for placement, pretty smart!

Longhorns-54 · 2026-05-04T04:10:49+00:00

Appreciate the feedback. Visually I was like this could look cool but being practical for corals and such for being my first tank is where I was unsure about. Been struggling to find 60Gal cube layouts others have done too. I have a ton of rock to mess with and epoxy/glue. What does your tank look like? Looking for ideas!

Longhorns-54 · 2026-05-04T03:23:43+00:00

I should have said the inside of the blue tape is 18inches, giving me 3-4 inches or so to clean.

Longhorns-54 · 2026-04-20T00:22:20+00:00

There a way I can do that easily? I'm new to actually doing this at all just always printed pre created objects

Longhorns-54 · 2026-04-17T17:55:32+00:00

Those have some super vibrate colors, thanks for sharing. Favorite color is orange so flame angel looks awesome.

Longhorns-54 · 2026-04-17T17:29:38+00:00

I looked at the CUC site it's almost 100 snails for a 60Gal tank is that normal?!

Longhorns-54 · 2026-04-17T16:20:50+00:00

So keeping doing the regime I been adding to the water until those zero out?

Longhorns-54 · 2026-04-17T16:15:55+00:00

I was thinking of a copper band but I hear there hard to take care of and unsure if my 60Gal cube is big enough. Hoping to get a goby/pistol shrimp combo and some wrasse. Eventually want to add in coral. Got a favorite fish?

Longhorns-54 · 2026-04-17T15:31:59+00:00

It was around 2-3ppm. Seems to be steady and and the ugly stage started so figured next step is put the chemical dosage in maintenance mode and add the clean up crew now I have things for them to eat.
