150 cube started

[Trademark]

I had to get rid of the MP10 due to thicker glass. So in goes the MP40 ES

I am actually waiting on a 6212 Tunze Wavebox to come in Friday. Then I will decide what I am going to keep. I might have to keep both if the wavebox can't give me the flow on the other side of the tall boulders that I have in tank.

I haven't been on RC in a while. What a great post to start back on! I can see that your budget allowed you to get great equipment for your tank. I hope the build continues to go as planned (for the most part hopefully lol).

Your sump looks awesome. Are you going to drill it for an external pump, or have you decided to use an internal pump? Looks really cool with the skimmer in there. When you get it in place, post some more pics. This is a really neat setup.

Give me a shout if you need some help, I'll be around the next few days.

I will be using an external pump (Iwaki 30xlrt) that will have a tee going to DT and Ref. THe Ref side will have a ball valve to control flow (thanks ahenson).

I assume you have a ball valve to each, the display and the fuge right? Just making sure. I think you will really like the wave box, I do

I love the rock work. Makes me want a deep dimention tank now.

Your sump is about like mine, I ended up putting my skimmer, a MRC2 on outside. Now it sounds like Niagara falls under there since my skimmer runs about 1600 gph and it is noisy.

Updates? Hopefully this is going to be my next tank build.

Yeah I have many updates to the tank.First thing is that I ended up moving the rock around a little. I actually removed about 70lbs of live rock. The way that I had it set up i had way to many shadows and no where to put corals. I kept the three large pieces of rock in the tank and just rearranged them a bit. I have several fish in the tank aswell.

Yellow Tang
Pacific Blue Tang
Black Trigger
Coral Beauty Angel
Pair of Picassos
Pair of Bangai
Diamond Goby
Starry Eye Blenny
2 Cleaner Shrimp
4 Pepperment Shrimp


I will update tonight with some pictures

I forgot to check out the sump when I was there last. Don't forget to add pictures of the sump since you got it installed.

So here is the most current shot of Cube. No more drastic shadows

What a mess, I plumbed everything with hoses just because of the ease of assembly. I have one pump supplying everything. First is supply to Display Tank, Second is to Refugium, Third is to Sump to better control flow on other lines. The Fourth I just got hooked up about three days ago on my Frag Tank.

All supply lines have Ball Valves on them to help with any flow issues.

Frag Tank that I purchased from BMC. The tank measurements are 35x18x10

I sold my old MP10es and should of kept it. But I got alot of good frags for it locally though. So I bought another one from Aquacave. I have a pretty good turn over rate from my Display Tank sump but not enough for SPS. I also received two Frag Caddy sets from BMC. Two sets fit exactly in frag tank and they stack back up in two buckets perfectly to take to swaps with frags in them. Nice bonus!
