Hello R2R fam, I’m back! So, a lot has gone on since 2015. I found and fell in love with the most amazing woman in the world and fellow hobbyist Elena Johnson. We fragged off future hobbyist extraordinaire, one year old Hudson. And, we moved to central Florida. Our move consisted of breaking down 16 aquariums, packing them off into a Uhaul, then throwing what we could fit of our household items and furniture to fill it up.
Enough, about the past. This thread marks the birth of the 85 Almost Cube.
It’s a rimless, 36” x 30” x 18” with three panes of low iron glass, frosted backing, and black painted bottom. I am using an eShops hang-on overflow. In my experience, they can be quite reliable and in case this project goes a different direction, I don’t have a hole in a bad spot.
Sump is also an eShops. I like this sump because it doesn’t have a refugium section area. If it did I wouldn’t have room for my Reef Octopus POV-DC2 skimmer and the rest of the filtration I’ll be adding soon. Lighting is a Radion Gen 2 Pro upgraded to Gen 3 Pro.
That’s all I have for now. I’ll update as progress forms.
