Where did you get the Cerebra from?

Thanks! I picked up the Cerebra from Bulk Reef Supply while it was on the 50% off sale. I have a PH probe and another power bar being shipped right now so they will be added sometime next week along with the rest of the stuff for the right side cabinet.

Thanks! Concept did a great job. I requested the teeth be cut that way and they made it look awesome. The red pvc is from Bulk Reef Supply. I looked around a bunch trying to find it in Canada but had no luck. It was fairly expensive when you factor in the exchange rate and shipping but it adds a lot of character to the tank!

Thanks a lot!! A fair amount of thought went into fitting everything in with a clean look and ease of maintenance.

Very nicely done sir! Favourite tank build to date, and all in a day eh?! Haha.
Keep it up and bring on the the updates when you have time

Now that's a pimped out nano! A brand new nano is not a good place for a starfish or urchin, you may have to find someone to babysit them. I really like your sump, and that's awesome that you have space for a Chaeto chamber in the sump.

BRS had a 50% off sale?? Damn, that makes it worth buying in US dollars! When was that? It sucks that Proline Aquatics moved to the US - I don't think we'll see so much Vertex up here anymore, at least not until the dollar gets better. Vertex just got 36% more expensive for us.

Thanks for the advice! I've had the starfish and urchin for just over 5 months now, moving them from my old setup into this tank. Currently they are spot feeding often with a mix of frozen food and seaweed sheets (urchin loves them). I am hoping this along with the live rock will help kick start my system fast enough to sustain them. I have a friend with a large tank who I could give them too in the mean time but I enjoy the spot feeding - so its tough to give them up

haha the BRS 50% off was only for Vertex Cerebra packages for the purposes of the beta testing. I believe they sold 400ish units? They also have discounts on all other cerebra related equipment which is still going on, but I'm guessing that will end once the beta is finished. Vertex being in the states has definitely hurt on this build. In case ya didn't notice, I happen to be a fan of them!

very 'elegant' build. Well done!
