Look at you go was curious in how you had planned it out and how long the tank was running.

I'm finishing my plumbing this morning so that the heaters can go in the sump and that the tank can be filled completed but you get the idea of where I am right now

Thanks! Here are a few more, first one here is the sump setup, many people like seeing these to get some ideas. I got this sump built out of acrylic and it's 36 long x 20 wide x 18 high

Sure thing, I had the cube for about 9 months and the way I did the move was all new live rocks for my new build so I was able to get an instant cycle in about 3-4 days and I moved all the fish over 1-2 over per day (it took a total of 4 days or so) and I kept monitoring parameters and a very close eye on ammonia especially and it never spiked or even moved slightly up again actually. I did all the corals at once on the last day. It was overall pretty easy actually now that I come to think of it, the overall process took about a week, cycle and everything included. That was about a month ago.

My big hurdle was not being able to find a sump, the glass tank I wanted turned out to be backordered so I had my LFS build me one out of acrylic. It ended up costing maybe 50% more but it's better in the end as it fully utilizes half of my stand; I’m really happy how it turned out!

My LFS also helped me drill my tank and that was something new and fun and I’m very happy to have gone the route of drilling vs buying pre-drilled with corner flows. The products I ordered from glass-holes.com was really top notch and came with absolutely everything needed!

Any questions about any of this, don’t be shy to ask!

PS: My LFS is Derek’s Reef Shop in Moncton NB, in case anyone is curious
