I was going to use this tank as my frag tank, but i have decided to take down my 40 breeder since the 120 will be up in a few months, and use this as a nano.

The tank is 18*18*10 with center overflow and 1"bulkhead, with two 3/4" holes drilled.

The stand is just going to be 2*4's. 30" tall.

The sump and tank were made by www.reefmania.net.
The sump is 18*18*12 with 3 baffles and enough room to fit the skimmer , return pump, and heater.

The skimmer is going to be the one i was using on the 40 breeder, and it is a Euro reef ES5-3 that runs like a charm.

I am using a mag 7 for return hooked up to a SCWD and then one they are attached to the bulkheads i am going to use locline "y" and that will allow me to aim the flow pretty good....i have am thinking about buying a nano tunze but not to sure.

The lighting i am a little worried about, i have a lumenarc 3, a pfo 250 ballast and a 14k hamilton bulb, just screaming at me to use them....if i raise this 12" above the tank, maybe more is that going to be ok??? i will have RO/salt which ever is needed drippin in the tank to make sure the sump is filled, and i also have 2*4" fans i am going to be running in the sump.

I am transfering everything over in a week or two.

I am going BB , and i will be adding randys 2part also, well 3part with the MG.

That should cover most of it, but what do you guys think?>>

The tank is going to be sps!

Thanx guys...i am pumped for this one
 
That is a sweet cube. If you raise the MH high enough over the tank you shouldn't have any problems with it. Can't wait to see you get this going.
 
sent you a pm....

I got a good deal on the tank, he had it already and it was the size i wanted so it all worked out...

Tank should be up and running in a week, going to home depot tommorrow to grab materials for the stand, and something to hang the lumenarc.
 
what thickness is it?? looks awesome, im building my own acrylic cube this week and am thinking about not using bracing like that one
 
its 1/2" thick.....i am seriously thinking about having a 120 made like the nano, but it would have to be 1" thick and that wouldnt be cheap

But so worth it!
 
So i got my lumenarc, and my 14k bulb should be coming in later today.

Swinging in to homd depot to grab some 2*4 or 1*4 so the stand, and then i should be ready to move everything over.

Since i am going to be using the live rock out of the 40 breeder, and then about 20 to 25 gallons the transfer should go pretty easy, and it sould just be like me doing a 10 gallon water change....right?

I will post pics once i build the stand, and hang the lumenarc.....i am pumped to tranfer the sps my rainbow mille is coloring up nice
