I'm setting up a Red Sea Max. I added a sump in the stand, a phosphate reactor & protein skimmer behind the tank, a shallow tanks beside it with a Viper 70 which will be for clams and invertebrates. I have also plumbed in a Nanocude 6 as a speciman tank. I just finished leak testing everything and am now slowly filling it with R.O. water.

Here's some pictures:

Overall setup


CPR Overflow and mod for surface skimming


The sump


Rear plumbing



Nanocube 6 plumbing (bought Nanocube from digital-audiophile)


Shallow tank with Viper 70 watt (bought from Hurley 20X20X9)


I'll post more as the tank progresses. Should have rock in place in about a week.

That is definitely a fun looking personal space there Brent. Look forward to seeing how you finish everything up.

Very sweet! I cannot wait to see it running

Very creative series of mods, makes for a pretty cool system but you might want to think about having that 6g right over your monitor.

If I get a lot of glare from the Nanocube I can move the monitor a couple feet to the right or onto the "L" of the desk.

I'm more concerned with the 20X20 splashing the monitor than water coming from the Nanocube. The monitor is a small LCD so is easy to move around. I can get it completely off the desk when doing maintenance on the tanks.

Salt creep could be a problem with the monitor and tanks so close together. Might corrode out the monitor with the salt air.

The computer and the tanks are on separate GFI protected circuits. and the computer itself is nowhere near the tanks.
