100 gallon cube-ish build

[strauss]

So on to the next tank. After selling the 230 discus/amazon tank/dart frog tank it's back to reefing.
Plan:
Tank: 30 by 30 by 28 tall, back overflow, herbie, dual return concept made
Flow: 2 mp10's plus wp10 plus returns
Substrate: reef special, only 1- 1.5 inches
Lighting: Mitra, possible 4 retrofit T-5s also kessil 360 for rock tower highlighting
Stand: iron with 3/4 inch skirting and canopy, all doors held by magnets as well as canopy doors
Control: Apex with added modules
Rock: Pukani from Elli/concept plus shelf rock
Coral: all sps
Skimmer: csc 250
Ro/Di: BRS

That's the plan and I would like to have water in it by sunday so lots to do this weekend. Here's where I am at right now.

Tank with added child because why not


On stand


Working on stand/canopy






So far



Some equipment, it's a bloody mess:





Lots more to come

Nice Concepts tank :-)

[strauss]

about a week in and here's how it's looking:

morning/evening single kessil a150w spot lighting:


afternoon just before 100% power:


full power which will need to be toned back


Also need to add about an inch more to the crown as I don't like seeing the water line and the wp25 on wave mode really moves the waterline

Oh, and rockwork not done yet. Just cycling

Awesome! Reminds me of my 30x30x28 cube! I can't wait to see this thing stocked. SPS galore waiting to happen.

Looks great. Looking forward to watching it grow.

following your build,..so far its looking great

Nice build as I really like the look of cube tanks as well.

You can probably just skirt the top of your tank with some casing/trim which will nicely hide the water line for you.

Sounds like you are pretty pleased with the performance of the WP25?

Do you only have 1 wp25 running that?
