I was checking that tank out last week some time. Nice find.

I love the look of rimless cube tanks. Good luck with your build.

Im following this thread.

***tagging along***

have you decided on a theme for this tank? I really liked the idea of your 10gallon theme and am considering doing something similar in my 90...if it ever finishes cycling

Nah, no theme really for this... just a mixed SPS/Zoa tank.

This was on my doorstep this afternoon....



So I opened it up......



Then I opened the box inside the box...



Then I put together what was in the box...



It's a pretty tight fit in the 10G sump.. lol I might have to run my return pump as an external.



Will be awhile before I can fire it up, still need to get some glass for the overflow, do a bunch of plumbing, find a new return pump since the OR2500 I had planned on salvaging from the 10G won't be enough return flow IMO.

There was also a 125W Jager heater, Spears Gate Valve, and some strainers in the box..

Overflow is on the way and I could be nudged into upgrading my return. Leaving a quietone 6000 unused.
