45g cube for the wife

i was gonna wait till it was complete but as you can see that didnt happen.

 

still workin

 

the tank/stand buts up against the wall. i made the c2c from polycarbonate. panworld 30x for main pump, 1-panworld 30x recirc, 2-panworld 40x recirc. algae scrubber, filter sock, reef octopus 110 skimmer, reef-relief ato with ro/di 4 stage with 2 stage resin, 1-250w mh, 2-65 actinic, 1/10hp chiller, air line from the attic for skimmer. much more to list, still workin on it, should be up soon.

 

the sump is a 65g, cut the inserts with a diamond wet saw and diamond hole cutters, first chamber-skimmer, algae scrubber, second chamber- fuge, third- filter sock, bubble diffuser.

 

Lucky lucky women.

Is that a Marineland tank?

What lighting fixture did you get?

 

slick set up, I DIG it!

 

i also built the wall/closet, the system has its own line to a 20a circuit breaker in the main box, the 1/4" water line goes to the basement for ato ro/di, the 3/8" airline goes to the attic for the skimmer for fresh air, all the lines run inside the walls, took out drywall to make this happen. its a basic marineland tank that i drilled holes in, 2-3/4" (main/recirc) 1-2" (recirc) 1-1" (drain), cut the polycarbonate c2c overflow with a router using a 1/4" bit making 43 slots 1" deep that will handle 2794 gph. the light is a 24" 346w 4x24w T5 Aquarium Light 250w Metal Halide with moon LED 24 hr Hood Coral Reef Saltwater system from sky enterprises. more to come

 

Great job with the wall/closet. Looks pro. That is my dream with my tank.

but will end with this thread, wife changed her mind with the cadlight tank

 

I love the size of cube tanks, this should turn out to be a really nice setup for a lucky wife.
