As I begin this journey with the goal of turning a glass box into miniature ocean in a small corner of my abode. I must first thank all those that have given me a hand or sacrificed their time, sweat, and even blood on this build. So THANK YOU! I won't mention any names for now as I don't want anyone ( cough... Niño) stealing my "help" during this build lol. In fact I will change the names to protect the innocent as well as my "help. "
It's certainly been an adventure getting this tank and I imagine it will continue to be one as I piece together this build on a shoe string budget.
With all that out of the way...... I present you with my 240 gallon nano reef
Ok so it doesn't look like much here sitting on its side. But I did learn that camo tarp does very little to hide a tank this size from the wife.
I've always wanted a 36" cube tank, so why not a 48" one? I obtained this aquarium undrilled. The bottom is double paned, so I was pretty much set on drilling one of the side panels.
So first thing on the todo list was get it drilled.
3 dudes + a couple drills + 2 diamond coated hole saws - a few hours + some tape and water = 3 half inch glass disk and lots glass dust.
