mr_alberta's 1/2 cube build
Well, the time has come to say goodbye to my 4' tank and welcome my new, 32"x32"x16" half cube! Hopefully this will be my last tank for a while (at least until I buy a house!)
Unfortunately my pictures are at home, and I am unfortunately at work lol. However, I'll give you all a breakdown on the equipment I'll be running: Tank: 32X32X16 acrylic tank w/ external overflow Sump: 24X24X16" acrylic tenecor tank Return Pump: Mag 7 Closed Loop: Red Dragon 8 Ballast: SLS Blue Wave 3 Bulb: 20000K Radium Reflector: PGS Lumenarc Controller: Aqua Controller Jr. Skimmer: Bubble King Mini 180 Wavemaker: Ocean Motion Squirt Substrate: Starboard/Cutting Board (HDPE) I haven't decided what type of Reef Setup I'd like to do, Mixed Reef, LPS only or SPS only? Currently I have no SPS in my tank and have mainly LPS and softies, but I do miss the shapes and colors of SPS... Also, I'd like to thank the following people for all their help: Russ and Dez for helping me build my tank  Lando & Josh for all the sweet deals at Marine Aquaria  Agnes for all her patience and understanding  Ed, Eric & Pat for buying my old tank and equipment and funding my new one!  Ryan & Chris for the deals on the reflector and wavemaker Pictures will come soon...I swear!

Sorry for the delay, didn't get a chance to finish the tank off quite yet, but here are some pictures of the build thus far:
First, the external overflow weir...normally you would cut the weir in BEFORE glueing things together....but I got a little too excited with the Weldon 40 and forgot to do this first As a result, we had to cut it after everything was glued together. Here is Des helping me align the bottom of the tank after epoxying.  Here is Des and I admiring our work.  Here are my banana hands mixing the Weldon 40.  Here is Russ routering the edge after the Weldon 40 dried (a few days later)  That's all I have for now, hopefully I'll get to finish off the tank tonight at Russ' place and will have more pics soon!
