100 gallon cube-ish build
So on to the next tank. After selling the 230 discus/amazon tank/dart frog tank it's back to reefing.
Plan: Tank: 30 by 30 by 28 tall, back overflow, herbie, dual return concept made Flow: 2 mp10's plus wp10 plus returns Substrate: reef special, only 1- 1.5 inches Lighting: Mitra, possible 4 retrofit T-5s also kessil 360 for rock tower highlighting Stand: iron with 3/4 inch skirting and canopy, all doors held by magnets as well as canopy doors Control: Apex with added modules Rock: Pukani from Elli/concept plus shelf rock Coral: all sps Skimmer: csc 250 Ro/Di: BRS That's the plan and I would like to have water in it by sunday so lots to do this weekend. Here's where I am at right now. Tank with added child because why not http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/...psb684de2b.jpg On stand http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/...psd571f6ea.jpg Working on stand/canopy http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/...psa58caf48.jpg http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/...ps1068b8e6.jpg http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/...ps6e331080.jpg http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/...psd183d999.jpg http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/...ps1847416a.jpg So far http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/...ps8e578246.jpg http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/...ps2b7099ef.jpg Some equipment, it's a bloody mess: http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/...ps19b9c70a.jpg http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/...ps16f0f644.jpg http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/...ps0054ae40.jpg http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/...psf33974fe.jpg Lots more to come Brandon |

update
about a week in and here's how it's looking:
morning/evening single kessil a150w spot lighting: http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/...ps0a159a6a.jpg afternoon just before 100% power: http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/...ps27129f07.jpg full power which will need to be toned back http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/...pse4978a13.jpg Also need to add about an inch more to the crown as I don't like seeing the water line and the wp25 on wave mode really moves the waterline |
oh yeah
Oh, and rockwork not done yet. Just cycling

Awesome! Reminds me of my 30x30x28 cube! I can't wait to see this thing stocked. SPS galore waiting to happen.
|
Looks great. Looking forward to watching it grow.
|
following your build,..so far its looking great :thumb:
|
Nice build as I really like the look of cube tanks as well.
You can probably just skirt the top of your tank with some casing/trim which will nicely hide the water line for you. Sounds like you are pretty pleased with the performance of the WP25? |
Do you only have 1 wp25 running that?
