Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

[Katrina71]

I'm sure I'll come up with something.

Could go with 80/20 or another T-slot aluminum. Framing Tech is another company that Ive heard good things about.

+1 on Framing Tech. Easy to converse with and very reasonable for custom ideas. I am not very handy and they were a big help.

Is a canopy an option to match the refinished stand?

 

[Katrina71]

I was trying to keep it sleek. I may be limited. Either way, I need a screen top for maintenance.

 

[Katrina71]

I actually prefer a canopy. Andrew doesn't. He may be open to it given the circumstances.

 

[Katrina71]

Canopy designs. Hmm. Definitely would use something hinged.

OK, go to HD and have them bend you some conduit so you don't have to buy the bender. Paint it black. BAM!

I am using it on my nano right now.

I hid the wires inside mine but I am not sure they would fit for the SOL

Is the tank going in an area where light spillover will be a nuisance? I couldn't have that where my tank is. This member (T2Play) posted this picture in my build thread to give me ideas. This is a floating canopy. This one is suspended from the ceiling, but there is a reefer on our local forum that has a similar canopy and it is mounted to the wall in back. Really sharp looking. If I can find a picture, I will post that one also. Not sure I can find it though.

That is EXACTLY what I had in mind!

I can’t wait to see top down shots of the hippie project tank.

Also, i got a cleaner wrasse today, and it began working within 5 mins of being in the tank. I would 10 out of 10 recommend it for the cube

Just posted a pic of the floating canopy I am working on K.

So I figured out why corals look brown in the tank and not red. There not enough blue to bring out the red. I need another antic.

Whoever told me to check potassium thank you. Levels are a bit low but nothing horrible.

anyone have any experience on taking great quality pics from top view of their tanks? Cause if so, i has a question .

@Katrina71 Any livestock in mind yet? Also, what are you doing with the sump? will you use it for frags or fuge or... ?

 

[sfin52]

Ya @saltyfilmfolks and @najer have experience.

Fuge, no livestock additions planned yet. Oh well, a BTA. I'll be working on coral.
