After 4 years of having my 29 BioCube I decided to go bigger (again):spin3:. I was in my LFS the other day and saw a Deep Blue Edge 57 gallon rimless tank and couldn't resist.
I have had a few tanks before the biocube a 90 mixed reef and a 65 mixed reef. Both tanks did ok but I was never really happy with then so I sold both tanks and was out of the hobby for a few years till the biocube came into the scene and I wanted to try it. I really liked the biocube but I was always modifying it but there is only so much you can do to it. It got to a point where I wanted to add a sump and LED lights, it just didn't make sense $$$$$ for a biocube so it was time.
I have a few items from the biocube I will be using in the 57. I have an MP10 a JBJ 1/10 chiller and my Reef Keeper Elite.
The tank and stand will be ready to be pick up on Monday. I didn't get the stand that comes with tank, is a nice stand but is really unpractical due to having a wood right in middle when you open the doors. I had one made out of pine and I will be painting it black.
I will be placing an order on Friday for the skimmer a SWC Xtreme 120. Also an Eshopps 30" x 12" x 16" Reef sump. For the return pump planning on the Eheim 1260.
As far as lighting for right now I have a 150w mh (2) 96 watt pc fixture I will be using till AI comes out with the Phoenix then I will replace the MH fixture with LEDS.
I will post pics as soon as I start getting stuff in....Thanks
