Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

My old sump found a new home! Young local reefer is using my 20g and the sump! That made me happy!

That is very cool!

And so the checkbook... *cough* I mean supervision begins. Tank isn't even wet yet and I'm already buying fish. Shhhh... she doesn't know. (Dont worry, I have a place it can happily live until her tank is ready)

Something tells me she will be more than ok with it.

I'm hoping to keep the AIs for at least a year. I hope I can. If the new tank hadn't come with them, this whole project would be a no go.

I've never looked inside one of those... if I were closer I'd come help switch them out... I'm pretty handy with a soldering iron.

I believe they are plug in.

I looked at a pic of a puck an it doesn't appear to need to be soldered.

 

[dantimdad]

If they don't last a year, I gotcha covered for lights. No worries.

That makes things easy.

A soldering pen is $5-10. Pretty easy to use. You can definitely do it if needed

That's what I thought by looking at it as well. I can solder.

I'm such a plan B planner. Maybe overkill sometimes, but when it isn't...

 

[dantimdad]

well, light isn't something you can go very long without on a reef. I keep backups.

I also keep backups for friends to use until they can get new ones or just keep if they want.

Hippie kid is going to summer camp for the first time in June. Fundraising. Ugh.

 

[NY_Caveman]

He is one lucky kid. Sleepaway camp? Or day camp?

All of the upgrade process was plug in. I want to say that the SOL pucks just plug in, if my memory is reliable (which it isn’t).

I think the board and pucks are held in place with screws. Should be an easy swap. I think the pucks are in pairs. Some stills from an HD52 swap.
