my 37 cube build

Love that 37. I got the thirty and really wish I got the 37. That ten gallon is sweet! I can't wait to see some pictures down the road of your 37 after seeing that 10 gallon.

thanks, I got lucky and found someone local who was selling theirs. Otherwise I was going to be building one out of acrylic.
 
well, I've got the water in the tank and some rock. I'm making the transfer tonight. I have noticed that the maxijets on the wavemaker still rattle probably about 50% of the time. I'm not too thrilled about this. Is there anything that can be done to reduce this?
 
Well, better late than never, :) Here are some pics of the tank after the transfer.

The 2 maxijets I have on the wavemaster pro are kicking up a lot of sand. Especially the one that I removed the nozzle from.

It took a few days for everything to settle down.

Here are some recent pics taken today.

Unfortunately the xenia didn't like the move to the new tank. Most of it died. I have a few small pieces not lookin so great on a couple rocks, but I think they will eventually come back once the tank matures some more.

Also a little cyano in the areas where the xenia died.
 
Thanks everyone.

Cato, no kidding. I've already got a bunch of frags near the top. LOL

Well, not much has changed othen than all the xenia died except for one clump of elongota which seems like its going to stay awhile. I just rewired under the tank this weekend and cleaned it up so I'm happy about that. Also finally hooked up the second timer controlling the daylight bulbs.

I'm not too happy about my aquascaping. I'm thinking I'm going to redo it this week. I want to have somewhat of an open area in the center for the fish to swim through.

I recently ran into lots of problems on my 29 sps tank and after breaking it down I've moved all its inhabitants into this tank. Here are some shots of the newcomers:

Here's a sweet coral I won in the last club raffle. Thanks NASO.

Sweet tank Vince! Looking really good! I am guessing we will get to see some frags in the near future?;)

When did you pick up the tang? Bob's? How's it doing?
 
Thanks Dave,

I got the tang from Rich (erickrm) with the intention of placing it in my 120 after I tested it in my 29 sps system to see if it had a liking for bryopsis. It didn't, but it hasn't made it over to the 120 yet. I'm hoping to do so soon.
 
How is this tank being filtered? Only by the Refuge/overflow?! I have a similar cube in size and mine never looked that great. What are you dosing as well? Thanks,
 
Rich, thanks. I need to take some pictures of some stuff. It hasn't changed much since those pics other than things look better. ;) Seriously though, other than a little cyano that is in one area on the sand bed that tank is cruising. I really still need to reaquascape. I have some ideas, just not the time. The worse thing about it is I'm now mounting monti frags near the top so they'll have to be moved when things change.

That orange plate I won in the raffle (NASO's plate) is growing quicker than I expected. Either that or its moving as its now up against the glass.

Fishboy,

Yes, just the refuge/overflow. I have about 8 lbs or so of LR rubble in there. Other than that its 1 power head and the return from the overflow. This is a fairly new system, so who knows what the long run tank will look like. I based it on the same setup I had for my 10 gallon nano. As long as I do regular water changes and make sure the sandbed gets enough food things should take care of themselves or so I hope.
;)
