It's been awhile... update MORE PICS!

Hey guys so when i got into this hobby i never really gotten my own tank just taking care of peoples tanks so now i got tired of it and talked with the girlfriend, since she has to confirm everything, good news is i got myself a 50g cube but the bad news is i cannot set it up until we find a place, so here are some teasers of what we did today

it is a cadlight tank 24x24x20 artison tank
15g sump 3 chambers + chamber for the sock

where the tank was kept


nice and packed up


where do i start?!?!


sorting out many of the screws they gave me..


i forgot to bring an impact gun, so a screwdriver was the only option..



got the legs and hinges in..



gotten one of the sides up


finally its coming together btw i am 5'2...




the stand is done!


i like my doors flush and leveled!




the tank is in and looks beautiful


i can barely reach the bottom sucks for me




adjusting my fixtures


night lights..


daytime lights there are 2 switches for actinic and daytime lights love them!


1 switch off


the tank wont have anything in for awhile, will be looking for rocks and my aqua scapes, this tank will be mostly sps corals.
for flow im using a vortech mp10es W and maybe a koriala 550 if its needed.

i forgot to take pictures of the sump area, and skimmer so ill post up some more pictures in near future, will keep this updated!


6/16

UPDATE! how is my plumbling going? is there anything i should put in the middle so i can take it off if anything happens? i havent glued it yet.

i also water tested it and the return pump was REALLY noisy. i will need to buy a quieter brand, any suggestions?

and can i put my return pump in the smallest chamber and my overflow and skimmer in the biggest? so i have a chamber for like a quarrentine

 

Congrats on the new tank! Looking forward to seeing it stocked.

 

Very nice looking set up. I always enjoy putting together those cabinets, NOT. Well I do like it after it is finished, LOL. That is a real nice looking tank with a nice depth for lots more scaping options.

 

Well deciding if I should go with 2 mini islands or just 1 island with flat surfaces coming out, does anything know if I can build my own rock from cemet? I know its been done but can not find the thread anymore

 

nice tank! what are you thinking for as of a stocking list?

 

Still undecided maybe a pair of clowns, not sure about firefishes they are jumpers but love their colors, I reaslly want a tang but no surfaceroom for them to graze and very limited space, and I'm leaning towards a flame angel, manderian goby,

 

i really want to set up this tank!! but atm im looking for someone who can scape cemete rock...

 

Just saw the pics of the sump, very nice looking

 

Looking great and very tidy !
Starting right is so very important
Dont forget to keep the updates coming
