magik's 29 oceanic Biocube

[Proteus]

Your in the right frame of mind to think it may leak. I bought a 180 that collapsed the day after I filled it. Upon inspection I found a old crack that was hidden buy edging. I have trouble buying m t tanks

I got my Ro/Di unit today! So excited lol.
I got the Media basket, skimmer cup and fish saver.
last couple of weeks have been like xmas!

I'm hoping to have the Stand built and Saltwater ready by Monday.

I have been unimpressed with any liverock I have seen while touring the LFS' so I am not sure what to do, Having it shipped is looking like it's the way to go. I wish there was word on RedCoral if they had planned to re-open soon I'd wait.

I bought a Vertex Refractometer the other day. I still have to grab test kits and get a larger return pump.

I am still not sure what to do about lights. I was leaning towards a Radion.
It would be nice if I could keep my hood. I have a big hairy Giant dog and 5 other small dogs. Staying on top of the Dog hair is a constant battle I would like it to stay out of my tank TYVM!
Can a Radion be Mounted in the canopy if I Mod it?

[Proteus]

Right on. Let's get some water going.

Either a AI sol or radion could fit if you moded a canopy. There is a fan in both so that is a consideration. The radions guts are seperate so it's smaller profile.

I have both and they hang 10" above water so that's another thought.

As for rock put a ad on here looking for. Somebody will sell some

[fishytime]

radions are not supposed to be mounted inside a canopy.... doing so will void the warranty......not sure about the Sols.....I suppose you could mod the canopy with fans so it is ventilated......might be worth doing, Radions are the shiz

[magikof7]

Thanks fishy! I don't want to do anything to void the warranty. that's a lot of money to throw out the window if something goes wrong. I have seen the Sol in a modded canopy. they Cut the size out of the hood but Im not sure what they used to secure it.

Tank stand has become a big project. My Hubby is a little OCD when it comes to this kinda stuff.
I found a fantastic web site with 18 pages of Nautical door pulls and knobs! now I can't decide which ones to order. Luckily there are several doors on my stand so I can have a couple different ones.

So tomorrow we pick up wood, stain and, I am hoping I can find a couple bins or smaller garbage cans for Ro and Saltwater.

Here is the design he has come up with. The gravity return fuge is back on the table. no pun intended.

Hubby got the frame done for my stand, should be able to Skin it tomorrow. Have to decide on a stain and sealant for the inside of the stand.

So how's it coming along
