Jeramy Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 So 90 gallon cube is not a nano in any way shape or form. But my roots are with small tanks so I felt I should carry a little bit of that over to my new set up. Here is what I have so far ! 90gal cube 30x30x24 20 gallon sump 10gal fuge attached to sump 5gal hang on back fuge Reefstar skimer rated for 200gal Reefstar 120watt led Reefstar par56 21watt led x2 Ecoxotic stunner strips x4 Custom built wood stand Mp10 es korilla nano 450gph x2 I still need to figure out my return pump and a mounting system/ hood for my lights. Of course no build thread can star with out some pictures of my progress. My BRS dry rock cycling in the tub with 80ish pounds of dry sand. Some pictures of the stand being built This is why you measure twice and cut once had to make some additional notches to allow clearing for my Plumbing I sealed the vinyl in the bottom of the stand with silicone to create a catch basin to help prevent some flooding incase of a plumbing malfunction Just need to cut and mount a door and ready for stain woot! This is the ships rail I added to help hide the sand bed some but still allow it so be seen. Dad's little helper =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerald525 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Nice job Jeramy. I like the detailed woodworking at the base of the stand that's a nice touch. That's going to look sweet under LED's. Also good idea having the rock cycling while you are working on the build. Beth and I did that and we ended up having much less of a cycle.

Jeramy Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 Thanks for all of the compliments, I am taking my time with this one so may not be any updates for a while. Mostly will depend on how long the (wife) will let me go using one of the showers (enforcer) to hold my live rock (naughty) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
