Default Kryptic4L's 40 Cube

TADA !

24x24x18 cube with external herbie overflow w 1.5 inch plumbing
28x20x14 sump with ehiem 1262 return on 1 inch line
vertex in-150 skimmer
coralife 2x t5 refuge light running freshwater bulbs
6x 24 inch ati sunpower running 3 ati blue plus, 2 ati aquablue special, 1 kz figi purple
DIY light bar
DIY Stand
Reef keeper elite
vortech mp 20

I bought this tank used second hand this was the original seller`s photos from when I picked it up




I scrapped the stand and the sump.




Added bath trim to the tank.




Then 4 months later finally got around to buying a new sump, and ordering my lights and set up.







Next I need to do a bit more rescaping and I am slowly incorperating new rock that ive had sitting in a 20 with a power head and heater.

That looks great man! Are you going to be leaving that skull in there or is it just to catch crabs?

im going to try and get it incrusted with a monti. might take awhile. Been thinking about pushing it back out of the fore ground for the time being as it does look a bit out of place

Cool, same dimensions as mine. Yours looks much better than mine though. As soon as my other tank is ready I'm transferring everyone over and re-doing mine.

ok ok ill get on the rest. This was really a tank brought back from the dead.

bought it with a metal stand a sump and the skimmer off a member. i was not happy with the sump and the metal stand. So I made my own and ordered the sump after alot of design stress.

The white bg is pretty different but it's a nice change to see it. Is that Sean's (kwirky) old tank?
