Apex Lite with WXM/VDM

MP40w x 2 (possibly MP10s?)
Proflex sump
Bean with external overflow box
DIY ADA style stand

Wish list:
Avast Marine ATO system
Lots of SPS

Ok photos!
A few weeks ago got a cube package from MarineDepot! Double boxed:







Seam:


Seam (inside)


Comes with nifty lid holders:





Then I brought the tank to the local glass shop to get the cutting job done for external overflow:

After:


Leak test:

Annd passed!

With taping for box placement:


Bean piping with white bulkheads:


As you can see, this is gonna be an overkill build. So might as well, I went with Radion Gen3 (non pro).






This is what it looks right now. Waiting for the shop to finish cutting the panels for overflow box.


Still long way to go.. Ill keep you guys updated!

 

Purdy.

You guys and your Radions3...so jealous. MP40, you'll be able to surf in that cube.

Great stuff Shin, I am looking forward to following your build. Going BB again? What kind of scape/rock?

 

He's back!! And looking good as usual...

 

Awesome Hummer.

 

Thanks Cheryl!

I think I'm going BB with a lot of flow. I managed to save a rock piece from the old 90, the left side of the pic blow. And a few tonga pieces maybe?
Old 90:



I'd bleached the rock and soaked in RODI. Dried it and being cured at the moment.

Well, Im not the one with 15 Radions by the way!

Thanks JB! Yes I am!

Thanks Andy! Im letting the kid start early lol

 

Guess who's back! Nice start.

The MP40s will be great.... to simulate a cyclone on the reef. Sell those and get some 10s.

I prefer the floor it's parked on. :-X

 

That's looking awesome shin! Looking forward to the build, your equipment list is making me drool lol!

 

Haha thanks Hunter! I want a lot of flow tho! but I might ditch the MP40 at least one of them..

Yeah about that floor.. lol

Thanks Drew! Any updates on your tank?

 

Where is the box?

 

OK, here is the box! Picked up the glass panels for the overflow:




$12 for all this great glass cutting job. Now time to drill:

Time to head to HD to pick up more stuff!
