reefwars will become famous soon enough
Default reefwars 25g cubetank....bonzai!!!!!!!!!

well its been forever in the making and for the past month the tank has been set up running with water but ive been afraid to do the livestock switch as the other system is doing so well.


anyways i needed a bit of a push as if its not broke dont fix it right, so my roomate went out and bought the redsea neo touch tank(waterfall tank) and then to spite me he went out and bought a radion and a pair of wave makers plus a bunch of nice livestock...well game on buddy gammmme onnnnn lol

anyways so i got to plumbing the tank and over the last month i made the bonzai tree and had it sitting in the 90g while i procrastinated some more.

i decided to shut my 90g down as a reef i just dont need a big tank and with the fragroom running i can move the 90g in there as a fish only and have a small reef in the living room....so the bonzai idea got planted into my head.

my bonzai tree is made up of 3 nice pieces of rock i drilled into and stacked onto pvc, the whole tree is removable when ever i feel like it to mount corals.

the sand bed is made of 2 full 50g tanks worth of tempered glass filtered out and cleaned of the small debris so its all large rubble.

the tank is plumbed directly through the wall it sits in front of and behind the wall is my frag room where the cube is plumbed into the same system as my fragtank.

even though i set up the cube today its all finished and full of coral already....not hard to do when you are shutting down a 90g reef and have a fragtank full of corals lol




tank specs:

18 x 18 x 18 cube tank
corner overflow w /durso
sunpod 250mh w 20k bulb
40g sump shared with fragtank
mag9 return pump
asm g2 skimmer
reactor for gfo


ill add some pics to the next post and a small video to satisfy all your photog needs....cause we all know this thread is useless without pics!!!!
