56 gallon build

braincandEE · Aug 18, 2013

Just upgraded my 45 gallon cube to a reef ready 56 gallon. Will probably be a couple of days/weeks before I get it up and running.

Does that truck in the background say "country girls shake it for me" on the back glass...LoL

here is a progression of my 45 gallon cube over the past few months

I went to GC this weekend to buy literally that EXACT setup...but it was gone. Now I know who got it before I could get there.

lol, man i went 3 times and looked at that combo all 3 times... they have a 42x20x17 that i really wanted but the price wasnt right... and the dimension were weird

I'm just happy one of us here got it. That is absolutely a GORGEOUS tank. Tom warned me on Thursday if I didn't get it then it would be gone. Good luck with it!

Nice! I love the black sand too

well a little more prgress today... i decided instead of painting the back of my tank to actually tint it with limo tint... my brother is a professional installer. i think it turned out rather nice. i also built a rack to mount my power strip(possibly a apex... birthday is next month) in the side compartment

Yupp that's good **** the back glass turned out really nice and only took us like 35 minutes!!!

well me,CWyteWayne ,and RaymondZacMarshall did the swap today. this is my first time running a sump and skimmer so Zac helped plumb and design it. Cory wired up a DIY led light for under the stand. im surprised how fast it cleared up after we got the water moving...

looks good... not quiet sure how i feel about the aquascaping... i was just ready to get it running.
