60 Gallon Cube Aquarium Setup: From Start to Finish!

[@PriceTagAquariums]

Looks good, Alec. I am looking forward to the progress on plant growth and new fish additions!

[@CichlidBros]

Thank you!

[@FlowstateAquatics]

The footprint of that 60 cube might be one of my favorites of all time

[@CichlidBros]

I’m excited about it!

[@donhabel1590]

Tank looks great good job 👍👍

[@CichlidBros]

Thanks, Don!

[@kashifkashu7899]

Very nice and pleasing aquascape bro 👌

[@CichlidBros]

Appreciate it!

[@insidethecichlidden7122]

A nice pair of apistograma cichlids would really set this tank off!

[@CichlidBros]

Love that idea

[@theoadams8671]

A nice large school of pygmy corys would be rad. They dont have great colors but their behavior is 10/10.

[@francisbaker2180]

Nice change of pace for you guys

[@CichlidBros]

For sure

[@tilapiastew1]

Shrimp could be a nice addition.

[@Jasper0o0]

This video was very helpful, because I was looking at the same size of cubed. Thank you

[@CichlidBros]

Glad it helped!

[@noelmangion6316]

The tank looks great get some ram cichlids can’t wait to see updates on it

[@edilley]

Some neocaridina shrimp would do fantastic in there! Or even amano shrimp

[@AmericanLe9end]

Nice Alec

[@CichlidBros]

Thanks!

[@fabiansfish]

Love the tank! Love the channel! Keep it up!

[@CichlidBros]

Thanks a bunch!

[@rustyfan89]

Great video, I’ve been looking at buying this tank , so it’s cool to see it

[@CichlidBros]

Awesome. It’s a unique tank. I’m liking it a lot so far

[@rustyfan89]

@I love cube tanks but usually they are usually on the smaller side like 10-20 gallons so a 60 seems more of what I want

[@danieljensen4797]

Nice Tank! I look forward to seeing it develop. You could add honey gouramis for a fish appropriate for a 2' tank and add a pop of yellow. Or in keeping with your channel's mission, add some Apistos, Rams, Laetacara, or Kribs. All should do fine with plants.

[@haydencarroll4354]

A pair of angles would be cool too see grow out in here

[@720Aquatics]

Hey looks great! I have a 50 cube was thinking of doing something similar but with some Cories!! Perfect tank there!

[@CichlidBros]

Love to hear it!

[@markfranklin8831]

Great tank I'd put some kind of corydoras in for sure. Thanks for sharing

[@xenic0770]

If you want to stay with the nano fish theme, you can get Japanese Rice Fish (Medaka), Pygmy Corys, Ember Tetras, Chili Rasboras If you want to go slightly bigger, you can go with a pair of Apistogramma, or Bolivian Rams, add some regular Corys. I would avoid any other Rams because they are not as hardy and require higher temps (84 deg usually) Either way you go I would add some wood to the tank to lower PH a bit and give the fish more cover. Since it's smaller fish, look for a nice piece of spider wood, then boil it for a while to kick start the water logging process and keep it submerged in a tote or bucket until it is submerged. You really don't need a huge piece, but you definitely want to get something that will go about 2/3 of the height and have it come out maybe 2/3 of the depth towards the front. I would personally put it in the back corner where the two black panels meet and have it look like it's exploding toward you from that corner. If you can't find the perfect piece, just grab a bunch of smaller pieces and some Super Glue GEL and glue it together. Once the glue gets wet, it's inert and not harmful to animals.

[@beccawilkins7350]

Green barbs would look awesome or Congo tetras

[@danielbristow4681]

I have the same glass love it

[@CichlidBros]

Awesome

[@sandyloyst1811]

Hey Alec! What about a school of dwarf type cory's? Might be nice. Peace.

[@risenfromyoutubesashesagai6302]

There's a nice fish store up in Cannonsburg. It's just outside of the Pittsburgh area. Anyways, last time I was there, they had a big planted tank with sand substrate that looked alive and natural. The plants were like big blades of grass and were swaying with the water current, and it all looked so natural. While the upper and mid water column had big fish lurking about, on the sandy substrate were Sturbai Corydoras... like 20 of them. These little bros were schooling together and constantly scouring the floor of this huge tank as one big school... it was one of the coolest tanks I've seen.

[@Beb_73]

Nice project! No heater for the cardinal tetras? I thought those required warmer temperatures than the regular neon tetras but then when does it stop being a low tech tank?

[@CichlidBros]

Oh there’s small heater back there, blends in some

[@Beb_73]

@CichlidBros Awesome! Looking forward to this new tank thriving in the near future 😊

[@evilone543]

I have this same aquarium. It’s drilled it for a sump. There are currently a large group of tetra in there. I’m thinking of swapping the tetra with the yellow labs in the 75g.

[@maxkat1749]

love that base! but it's difficult to see which pieces of wood supports go to the floor, vs to the outside square pieces - is there a little map of the 24" square layout showing the supports?

[@Kyle-n2e2x]

Dwarf cichlids we like the rainbow kribs and German blue rams or something like them

[@andreacasoli3371]

You could add a pair of dwarf cichlids

[@NoFadaway]

🔥🔥🔥💯

[@joesiordia3634]

Could you share the site you purchased the plants from?

[@Twistedredlab]

Hey alec, maybe im blind and didnt see it in the description, where did you get that low texh plant bundle?

[@jamesbeard4227]

So how much for just a 125 tank?

[@anthonypride1302]

No driftwood?

[@LuizCarlos-ry7rf]

Muito bom

[@imEnkel]

Snails, snails, snails. They keep the plants nice and clean

[@coreyforeman8839]

How many bros are they 2 or 3🤔

[@CichlidBros]

3

[@coltoneskridge459]
