jadams7 Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 So after a while having the 120 gal tank (4x2x2) I decided to switch things up again, and to go smaller (scratch). I got a great deal on a cube setup (2'x2'x2') from Bob (Lowman on the board here). I really didnt have to do much with the tank from when I got it from Bob, just cleaned it up, painted the back, and transferred over livestock. (clap) The tank is an acrylic cube, with a closed loop system, and the tank looks to be an envision, but I do not know for sure (Bob, correct me if I am wrong). Stand is very sturdy, and is almost identical to the starfire cube stand that is going up right now. For the CL pump, I am running a Reeflo Snapper By jaseadams, shot with NIKON D70 at 2009-05-15 Lighting, I have a 14k 250w with spyder reflector, powered with a PFO ballast. By jaseadams, shot with NIKON D70 at 2009-05-15 Return pump, I am just running a little Rio 3100 that seems to be working just fine. For the skimmer, I am running my AquaC EV 180, since I was very pleased with the results on my 120. Fitting everything in the sump was tough, but I managed to squeeze it all in, even with a tiny refugium! By jaseadams, shot with NIKON D70 at 2009-05-15 As for livestock, I have : An Emerald Crab, Sand Sifting Star, Red Linkia Star, Regular cleanup crew of Snails and Hermits of various types. 3 Percula Clowns By jaseadams, shot with NIKON D70 at 2009-05-15 Wrasse (ID please?)

Just sticking to more softies for now.... And that's pretty much it! Still have some final rearranging of stuff, and some stuff is yet to open up from the transfer, but I will try to keep updated with pics and all.

Kung Fu Spider Crab Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 I agree the fish is a lubbocks. Didn't know how to spell it, but I was looking at one myself about three months ago. By the way, welcome C24. Nice to see another posting from a Central Origonian! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowman Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Nice tank man, but it is not an Envision tank. I'm not sure who built it. It still looks good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great tank for sure! No Scratches very clear and looks way bigger than 150! I have a 210 and his looks bigger than mine! but mine is thicker! You should do it!! His lady loves coral and honestly I think she does most of the maintenence! Lucky dog!! LOL!! Now she wants corals!! I hope you guys do it! Then you both get what you want!!
