Yellowworld's 2012 Nano Contest Entry

[yellowworld]

Alright so here is the finished product, in its final resting place















So now that that project is knocked off the list I have a few things left to go before splash down can commence!!

I still have to build an acrylic shield that will house my 90 degree cords for everything to get plugged into, and will also fully encapsulate the rest of my electronics so they don't end up with water damage from being in the sump cabinet,

and then i need to pick up, a two little fishies phosban reactor to run GFO and carbon

and then i need to pick up a 150w heater

and last but certainly not least i need to pick up a tunze 1073.050 silence pump to feed the reactor, the return to the tank, the refugium and the water fall

Then i can start to cycle the tank as i build the LED's to light it all up!!

Looks cool, definitely different any plans for the rock that sticks out of the water? Will it be a waterfall type deal or just stay dry?

Yeah im actually planing on doing kind of a tide pool to a waterfall and then rest of the rock is going to get covered in some type of greenery and most likely mini orchids

I've been following this built since the preliminary stages of the wave box and I have to admit, this has evolved into a truly epic built... cant think of anything missed, everything is done with a great deal of attention, truly epic in my opinion.

Well done and keep us posted :P

Wow!! Thank you very much!! I still have quite a bit to do but its getting there

I was poking around the Tunze site today and noticed their updated version of the nano wavebox uses a stock 6055. since that comes with a magnet mount already I might source one used and purchase a wave controller. I know you're done but thought I'd mention it here where it's semi relevant.

I KNOW I KNOW!!!! HAHAHA i wish i know this just a few months earlier haha but i think im going to go that rout too! Also the output on the front is 1.5-1.59" so it should fit perfectly into a 1 1/2" bulk head hahaha. My pump is starting to click and ive looked into why its doing that but so far every problem i have found out about on the RC forum hasnt been the issue with mine, so in the not to distant future i think im going to try out the 6055 to see what happens, PLUS is has the same type of connection that my current pump has so it should be just plug and play (Fingers crossed)
