WickedReefs 60 gallon cube build

[WickedReefs]

Stand is officially in the house as of today. Next is getting the electrical and plumbing done. I had the tank on the stand the other day and didn’t noticed the billions of light scratches from the previous owner so cerium oxide is on order. Hopefully that’ll clean it up a bit. And I’m not sure if I should paint the back black or blue? Thoughts.

Got the bottom set, panels cut and painted, almost got the first coat of paint on the stand, as you can see where I ran out. Tomorrow I should have the second coat on and the panels installed.

Keep it up!!

slowly moving alone with getting equipment installed In the stand. Plumbing is done. Still need to get Some power strips and I’m waiting on the exhaust fan to come in. Might actually have the tank up and running by the end of the weekend. Oh and I got the living room painted so that’s a win.

The day I have been waiting for. Rock scape is set and the system is filled. The rock have been cycling for the past 2 months in a brute can so I’m hoping this is a quick cycle. Now im deciding what Fish I ’m going to stock in the tank before I add the corals from the garage setup.

 

[WickedReefs]

Light installed, using single radian XR15 Blue. I did add 3 fish a few days ago. 2 small Royal Grammas and yellow watchman goby. I’ll be adding a few more fish next weekend. Today I’m going have the ATO installed, and hopefully get majority of the corals transferred over, and then the fun begins of breaking down the garage tank.

 

[WickedReefs]

We all know what these bottles are for lol. And coral is transferred over. I did sell majority of my stock, kept the homewrecker frag, I do gold torch, toxic torch and a few purple tip hammers.

I’m officially done with the setup except for the macro. I got all the dosers and the GHL KH Director dialed in today. I’m going to stock the tank with a few more fish and then it’ll be time to pack with sticks!

 

[WickedReefs]

Tank Update: Had a Diatom bloom for about a week. The GHL KH Director is tuned to the T. The refugiun is all setup, I went with miracle mud and chunky piece of macro. Everything that got transferred to this tank has acclimated well and i get the first round of Fizzy sticks tomorrow!

dang!! This is so cool. I loved looking at this. I couldn't help but think I should found a guy who was handy instead of being sucked in by musicians. Whom I had to support. Joking. Sort of. You could go into business making cabinets.
