Default 29G biocube build/transfer

so i recently got a 29g biocube as the mantis is getting bigger and i got a good deal so i figured id get it b4 he outgrows the 10g, im in the process of building a custom back wall and gutting the back to make a refugium.....ill be posting pics as i progress, ill be setting up using 10g of the old water and 20g from Red coral along with turning it into a reef eventually n e ways heres the progress

Tank was dirty so im cleaning it in a vinegar bath





stand was a lil rough so ill fix it right up





The lights were both burned out, but considering how cheap i got it i was more then happy with spending $80 on 2 new ones



Start of the rock/foam DIY wall i cut out eggcrate into the shape of the back of the tank



cut holes out for the intake and outtake



i then cut out shapes goal was 3 ledges, top one will be for a Brain (always wanted one) middle one will be for a clam my gf wants to buy
and bottom will be for n e thing else, maybe a favia not sure....



inside FTS i put two pieces on the bottom in a right angle mannor that i will stack live rock on, to weigh down the wall and keep it stable and less likley to collapse



Side shot shows the 3 ledges
