My Biocube 29 QT build

[EricB]

Thought I'd start a thread here to document my QT build. I figured it would be appropriate in case I run into any Biocube specific issues. I just ordered the stand and Tunze Nano ATO (along with a Gyre for my DT). That's enough for one week. Next week I'll order the actual tank.
I might consider a lighting upgrade down the road for coral QT or frag tank, but for now it's just going to be a QT for hypo. The MP10 on the fuge of my DT will go onto the BC and I'll put a Korallia 4 I have laying around in the fuge of my DT.

After thinking about it, I decided to go ahead and order the Biocube today. Classes start next week and I figure it will be best to get this out of the way during syllabus week before I actually have to put-in work, LOL. I was going to wait a week to defray costs but this makes more sense...it's nice to be single again, haha.

So there's a Gyre, Biocube 29 w/ stand, Tunze Nano ATO, and a bucket of salt coming my way this week. Looking forward to getting the QT set up and making a fish order.

Got the stand set up and some equipment ready for the QT Biocube:

So far I have the Tunze Nano ATO w/ 2.5g reservoir and MP10w w/ battery backup ready to roll. The tank should be here tomorrow. I might have to go out and get a heater if none of my extras fit in the BC.

The lid is a little crooked. I'll have to figure out how to fix it. I'm sure it's just something with the hinges.
