Well after getting a good deal in a Mr. Aqua 18" cube, I found an deal on a 40b that i couldnt pass up.
After deciding to setup one in my office and one in my den my wife gave me the AWESOME news that Im going to be a father!:dance:
This will be my first kiddy and I dont think that setting up 2 tanks with a baby would be the smartest thing.
So since I have more equipment for the 25g im going to set that up and throw the 40b in the garage for a later date. Anyway ill keep this thread updated but it might not be the fastest build you ever witnessed.
Tank - Mr. Aqua 18" cube 25g
Stand - Biocube stand that the tank fits on perfect
Overflow - glass-holes nano with teeth and 1/2" return
Sump - Mr. Aqua 12" cube, Not the biggest but about as big as I can fit under the stand and it helps that I already have one set up so the switch will be easy.
Skimmer - Tunze 9002
Return pump - Ehiem 1250
Heater - Jager 150w
Flow - MP10 that will be placed on the back panel
Lighting - AI sol with controller
ATO - Tunze Nano ATO
Dosing - I will be manually dosing for the first 6 months but once it gets closer to the due date I will be making sure that the tank can run itself if needed.
I will be using red sea and Hanna for testing until the tank is a stocked then I see an Apex in my future, I will also run either a phosban or BRS reactor for GFO ect.
Still undecided if i want to run bio pellets though, not sure how beneficial they will be for me and if the cost is worth it.
Ill add pics of what I have a my little 12" nano since we all know threads are worthless without pics:spin1:
The red is what I already have and I will change the color once I purchase the items, Im not dead set on anything and always appreciate any input.
The tank will be a mixed reef but will probably, like all my tanks have turn into a full blown sps tank.
Thanks for reading and even though this build might be slow, at least it will be done right
