Default Marlin's cubes (Few new shots nov 2010)

Thought I would share a few pictures of my new tank it's a 3' x 3' x 14" 1/2" tempered tank. I'm running a dart for the return and have it plumbed into a 35 gallon refugium and a 25 gallon sump. Still have to hook up my Becket skimmer and chiller. Just running a ramora pro for the time being.

Nice setup, did you drill the sump yourself? What size are those holes?
Thanks

All the holes were drilled before they tempered the glass. There is four one and a half inch holes, and one three inch hole for the return. This is my fourth tank that I put together. getting better with each one.

Hooked up my chiller but it does not work.
Anyone know someone that will recharge them? It's one of the old type with the Freon compressor.

I don't think you can use freon anymore, but AC repairs guys should be able to use another refrigerant.

Try an Auto Radiator and Air conditioning Repair shop.

Thanks guys.
I took it out (thanks for unions) The temp sensor and fan all work it just does not get cold. I found a place around the corner from me and will see what they have to say about it.
It is one of the old Aquanetics chillers, but should work great if i can get it running.

mmmmmmmm cube tank.

Looks great. Are you planning on keeping the minimal rock work in the tank? I'm starting to really like the way they look

My new guy I call him Speedy is doing really well and has adjusted well.


Together with my other fish eating algae off the rocks. Not the best picture
