My 29G Biocube

[kookie_guy]

I'm located in Maple, Ontario (just north of wonderland). Tank has been going for a bit now, but I'll post my entire journal from another site. I will include dates of the events.....

December 16th, 2007

I started up my 29G biocube. Below are pics and descriptions of what's happening. As far as equipment I have the 150watt MH hood from nanotuners, 100 watt heater, 2x koralia 2's, Oceanic protein skimmer, Coralife dual power center. Not everything is in yet, or in the final resting place since the tank is still going through the cycle.

So here we go....

A few shots of all the equipment. Yes, I know the Red Sea kits are terrible. An API kit is on the way as a replacement. Yes, that's a simpson's throw cover.










This is the custom acrylic tray I had made to keeps any spills off the dresser.





Ok, first thing I modified was the opening from chamber 1 to chamber 2. The reason I left the little piece was because that's where the Oceanic skimmer hooks onto.





Next I got to work grinding off the return nipple, to open the hole for a bulkhead. The reason I went to a bulkhead was so I have flexibility in the future. With the stock nipple, you can't really do much. With a bulkhead, I can do something.









The upgraded hood was stripped down, and rewired. It was purchased used, so I wanted to make sure all was ok. Plus I added high heat loom on the wiring. One of the PC bulbs is missing because it broke during shipment.
