Tank has now been upgraded from the biocube



--------------------------------------------------------------------------
So after a long mover is approaching being complete I picked up a biocube 14 to keep me occupied till the next time I can start my next custom tank. Lucky for me, my old tank is with my parents which ended up being a gift to them (long stressful story). This is where the swag comes into play. I plan on taking a bunch of zoa's, my acans and transfering them into the bc14. Also anybody who knows me well knows that nothing can stay "stock" and must be modified for optimum performance.

Being a student now its going to be a more budget build. Looking forward to getting water in it next week

Equipment includes:

maxijet 900 pump upgrade
stealth 50 watt heater
hydor FLO
hydor korialia nano power head

future upgrades:

upgraded fans from nano tuners
UVL PC bulbs

and so the cycling begins. added rock and set everything up today. so the 15th of june is when the livestock makes its way into the tank. Already have 4 types of acans waiting to be placed in the tank. can't wait to see my little acan paradise form. on another note, the hydor flo is MONEY. best $15 spend on this tank. but i am considering upgrading the ballests and bulbs.

big thanks to red coral, they had almost everything in stock to get this beast going. had to make a J&L order which suprisingly made it here very quickly
