Where did you find a sump to fit in this stand? I have been looking for one to go under my 30 cube for quite a while.

lately i have been picking out the types of corals i would like to have any opinions are welcome. i like sps, zoos, and blastos but i dont think blastos or acans like my lighting.

[magnoliarichj]

[magnoliarichj]

Here are some new PICS! Im waiting on my replacement wet side from vortech and i am using a phos ban reactor to house my carbon. i added some chromis and a trial frag. dosing Zeovit products.

I also added a temp gauge and have my doser topping of the tank with fresh water.

That's looking great. I have a 30 cube I'll be starting as soon as the weather warms and I can FW test it outside. I had a sump custom made to fit in the stand though. Is that an eshopps sump? A link might be appreciated by some as that is one of the major issues in turning the 30 cube into a reef- finding a sump that will fit in the stand. I think this is going to turn out very nicely for you.

EDIT:

Is that crushed coral?

 

[magnoliarichj]

yes it is an eshoppes sump and yes crushed coral 2.0-5.0 mm as the zeovit manual recomends

 

[magnoliarichj]

some new frags i got today.
