New JBJ Drilled w/sump

[b16a2]

I picked up the basics and started. The hardest thing was actually finding someplace to set it up where it could stay for 1-2 years. Getting the basics moved into the new place, I started on the tank build, after 3 days I ended up with this.



The blue Regal Tang is now out, so is the engineer goby. at 2.5 years old he was 11-12 inches...

My Ocean Pulse Duo... gonna swap out soon for a mp10


You can finally see coraline creeping onto my poorly exposed zip ties. This aquascape was a fail for me... but next week I will post pics on my 2nd attempt at a BONSAI AQUASCAPE!


After getting really bored with the tank, even though it was only 4 months old, I shut it all down and began to rip off the rim... it was a disaster, turns out jbj nanos top rim is actually used to cover the fact that the glass is horribly chipped and chaotic at the top. My 2nd Hate about the JbJ Tanks.






And this is what it looks like today. Almost 6 months in.

Reefie:
The stand is 1 of the 2 you can pick from for the 24 jbj Nano. Im sure your local sw fs can get them in for you. But be warned, this is very very unstable. The tank when full weighs in at 240+lbs, the stand weighs about 2lbs. I can hardly clean my walls without bouncing the tank around.

Hey I've been following your video updates on youtube. Great to see the actual build process.

Hey Cugio thanks!
Im having alot of trouble right now being able to acuratly re-create my color in videos. Even borrowed my cousin's camera... but alas, the pheonix 14k bulb is just to amazingly brilliant. I really cannot boast enough about this bulb. 55$ with shipping to my parents Sandpoint cabin in the states.

I work at a lfs here in town, and recently have had the opportunity to order some really cool Acroporas, if they continue to survive and thrive for 4 more days, they will make their new home in my tank
