My Deep Blue Pro 35g Rimless Cube

[CichlidMan@<3]

As far as I know, this will be one of a kind. Yes I've seen many many 60g cubes as I've had one for the longest time. This is not a 60 cube, this is a 35 cube... 4 inches shorter on each side, 20"^3. Tank is reef ready and rimless. Ecotech powered with XR15 and 2 mp10. Things started great, had everything running perfectly. Initial filtration was done with a custom sump and single baffle and a modified sca-301 skimmer. Pictures of initial set up:

Had this baby loaded ready to fill in after acquiring some pieces before rap in Orlando, during rap, and a little after including orange passion, Oregon tort, pearlberry, red dragon, little red ferrari, pikachu, jf flame, among a few others. All was good until the end of memorial day weekend. I vacationed with some good people to the keys and had a great weekend... until I returned home to a broken ac. A broken ac for the 3rd time in 6 months. Tank temperature was over 100 degrees for god knows how long.
Here are pictures of the graveyard. I can't explain the fury that ran through my veins. Furious with apartment complex not only because of this but because this happened 3 times in less than 6 months. It destroyed my livestock and endangered my dog and my girlfriends 2 cats. Person housesitting must have been a complete moron and completely oblivious to everything. It was very hard for me not to throw in the towel but I persisted and sought legal action. Needless to say, I am no longer living in that complex and have restarted again.

Here is the reload... new sump, new skimmer, new plumbing job. Sump has section for filter bag, section for skimmer, section for frags, return pump section. Basically a trigger systems sump but much more ideal for my application. Oh and I definitely reloaded on my livestock.
Here are pictures of new plumbing:

I don't see a dosing pump or CA reactor. How are you going to keep up with demands?

At the moment I actually only have to run kalkwasser in my ato. I have a ghl doser on hand that will be hooked up in my side cabinet once it is built.

Makes since. Those are some very nice pieces you're putting in there. It will look great all grown out.
