Juan's Deep Blue Edge Series Reef Cube.

[OCRick]

Be careful with the Bubble Magus Dosing Pump, the heads pop off real easily during operation.

I checked the unit, the buttons seem to be perfectly tight, but will definitively look into that issue.

Thanks, I really wish the day of putting it together was today!!!...

Nice build. I am doing a 60 cube build also. I am putting the stand together at the moment.

Best of luck, I'll keep an eye out for your build.

It just doesn't make sense any more... Such a big tank for a dozen fish.

Lol I'm doing a 12x12x12 cube but a lot less money involved. Very cool tank I like where your going with I always thought cubes were they way to go. Oh something funny 12x12x12 is 7.5 x2 is 15 and times four is sixty and eight of your tank size. Anyway i want to ask about dosing and reactors for a 7.5 gallon tank, is it worth it?

going to run 3.5 fuge with seaclone 100 skimmer (calcium or phosphate reactor?)

 

[dunedinplankton]

cody not to but in but when you are referring to a tank that small (nano) a reactor isnt really neccessary if you do regular water changes, depending on what salt mix you use. In case that Juan i believe his name is his tank is much larger. But i would honestly say a seaclone unless you have already unboxed it is a not useful in skimming your tank and a fuge is a good idea even if its just a sump with water and a pump being your water volume increases which is always good.Gluck man and rc is the place to get all your questions answered.

My question is i just had my new tank made a 26x26x24 tank and is the Radion fixutre going to be too much? or just right? as far goes as par value and spread? i have never run leds before i usually run radium 20k MH. Any input or info from your experience in this build will be greatly appreciated.

A Phosbane reactor would be a good investment for a tank of any size, carbon is also appropriate but on a small tank you may be well enough with media bags.

I had a similar debate when picking the appropriate lighting fixture, the Radion has a 30" spectrum coverage, but only 20"/22" of maximum light penetration, as per Ecotech this light is perfect for any tank in the 30" range AND you may not even need to run full power.

UPDATE:

I just received a call from the local fish store, the sump is ready for pick up... It looks I'll be doing some plumbing this weekend :fish2:

 

[deebs]

This is gonna turn out great, cant wait to see it up and running!

 

[Juanrmattos]

Picked up the sump this morning... Flow pump is going to be tight!!!

 

[evo_2679]

Dang - Nice sump !!!:thumbsup:

 

[Juanrmattos]

Meeh!!!...

Sump is not going to work, is too high and the powerhead slot is too tight; Looks like I will need to make a new one.

Another month... Sighs!!! :headwallblue:

 

[pleuralplexus]

you should take the sump to a glass shop and see if they can rework it for you-- or have them cut pieces to your specs and build your own (just dont forget to leak test it

BTW I had the exact same problem with my nearly-new JBJ arctica chiller. JBJ has mine right now; its getting inspected for repair or replacement!
