Thanks Mr. James! I have been looking around for options and ideas on my little cube I will be working on. So if you don't presenting your sump, some aquascaping, and your husbandry techniques.

 

[Mr James]

Will do. Gimme a little bit to round the pics and descriptions up.

So if you don't presenting your sump, some aquascaping, and your husbandry techniques.

To start off, I have a multi tank, in-wall system on a common sump. I have my Oceanic 58g RR and a 40g breeder that is drilled, over Rubbermaid 100g stock tank acting as my sump. I had two other tanks over this sump, but have since took them down. I hate typing, probably because it is five steps forward and three steps back... In the pics, the 58g is taller and the 40B is shorter...

Some of the "must have's" for any reef system... RO/DI, skimmer, lights, etc...

ATi BM200: (have since replaced with my current skimmer)...

 

[Mr James]

Misc...

AC Jr, replaced by ACII now...

 

[Mr James]

I don't have show tanks. These tanks are my most laziest tanks ever. No matter.

Mangroves then and now:

Skimmer then and now (BM200 vs. Early version Volcano)

58g then and now...

***Notice my 1 year old's exclamation at the Volcano bubbling up***
