thats really cool. i like the idea of the tank.

but if it was me i would have just made it all reef and set up a separate tank for the fowlr. with such an awesome tank, i think the dividers take away from it.

but maybe thats just me

If I could I would lol only one tank allowed in the house according to the boss, I've had a few large reefs and started with fish only's .... After having just reefs I get bored, fish aren't enough to entertain me so fish only didn't interest me either. The idea of this tank is to get it all in one neat little maintance free package. Even though it's divided in two the tank has four main sections....predator,tonga reef, cliffside,open plain . With these four sections I should be able to get quite the diversity of reefs in one. If I could have left the predators unfenced I would but they'd make quick meals of the reef cheers

Default TO BE CONTINUED.....

so the tank sold today and is now gone glad that it sold was surprised it took as long as it did with the amount of emails i was getting for it.so i leave for home on feb 11th and im already thinking of my next build lol

so it would seem i cant really find any full setups for sale let alone someone parting out thiers so im gonna have to be creative and build it my self once their... so to keep me a little happy i have kept enough stuff for another small tank and i am getting 5 pieces of glass cut for me tomorrow for a 24inch cube tank ill be taking the pieces with me as its alot cheaper here i can have it made for like 12$ a piece lol, i still may go a little bigger for a cube as the price is for half inch glass so may also do 27 inchs for that little bit more

once home with my glass and mailed box of goodies ill start building my little cube and curing my live rock ill gather some sand and seed it with some from someone elses tank(if i can find someone)

i kept my halides and some stuff i figured would be hard to come by down there but cant run a tank without.

the idea is another zoa tank and ill call it the zoobix cube.im gonna be building my own coast to coast overflow and herbie style drains. and using a 40 breeder for a sump which will be set up in its own room.

liverock i have already but will be purchasing 50lbs of dryrock as well.

im going to be plumbing 2 more 40g breeders as well into the sytem for a frag tank and refuge.youll see soon enough i dont want to divulge to much info just yet.the 40g are the hard ones to find down there it would seem, not like here lol alot of them they want 100 for so ill have to keep lowballing people untill i can come up with a couple

ive also got plans in the works for a few other things my days off are being put to good use with phonecalls and research and soon enough ill have something good going wont be anytime soon but soon enough

i actually have a decent budget this time around so if i can actually get the things i need it should be a smooth build



baby steps...
