a 60 hz tank circuit....?
would it be possible to make a 60 hz tank circuit? I have a square wave generator that feeds into a cap and 1 uh coil of wire, yet when i increase the inductance i get a more ...curvy, square wave that almost starts to look like a sine wave. Any idea how to make this continue?

I've answered this twice already. If you have an approximation to a sine wave, that is about as close as you can get with a one pole filter, which is what the inductance is. You can try paralleling the inductor with a capacitor so that the two make a parallel resonant circuit at 60 Hz, but the values become very unrealistic.
The existing cap is there just to block DC from the transformer and has nothing to do with the filter action.
