Islandoftiki Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 WOW! I absolutely LOVE this tank! Great coral choices! I want to build something like this, except with a 20 gallon sump. LOL Link to comment
Jenna Ann Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I am very impressed! Your woodwork around this little cube is amazing and so freakin' stylin'!!! When you get a chance, I'd love to see your hood with the light strips in place and shots inside the cabinet with the filter, etc in place. Oh and do you have drawings/plans for this cabinet you built? Its wonderful and I'd love to do something similar. Link to comment
Jenna Ann Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Update:Trim is almost done, pics will be up possibly tomorrow.

I haven't yet attached the light strips because I want to get the finish on the wood before adding them, but I can get pics of the inside this weekend. As for having drawings/plans I had a rough sketch of what I wanted to do, but I mostly went along with what worked. Update: June 1, 2012 Added: Zoas Mushrooms Astrea snail FTS What the color actually looks like... Side pic Sorry for the not so great pics, I just added quite a few things and their still closed... I'll get some better ones this weekend. Link to comment
Jenna Ann Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 The tank looks great! I'm interested in what modifications you made to your AC20. I'm trying to decide if I'm going to modify it or just use it as is and running various filter media. Link to comment

I'm trying to decide if I'm going to modify it or just use it as is and running various filter media. All I did for my AC20 mod was just shorten the intake tube and cut a notch in the lid for the heaters wire to come out. As of right now I just run carbon. i hope you win! based on craftsmanship an originality Thanks! Link to comment

afxtwin Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 wow, that's an awesome tank. best of luck! Link to comment
TheNanoReef Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 Update: Tank was taken down as of last week because I will be gone for 2 weeks and don't have enough time to take care of it currently. On the upside though I'll set it back up later and finish the stain on the canopy/base. As of now I'm out of the contest. Link to comment

I absolutely adored this tank and your little cabinet. I still want one just like it. I hope to see yours back up and running soon. Link to comment
Islandoftiki Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Sad to see you out of the competition. This was one of my favorite tanks. I look forward to it being up and running again! Link to comment
Jenna Ann Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 VERY impressive! Are you restarting the tank soon? The little cabinet looks fantastic! Link to comment
Islandoftiki Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 That looks so awesome. So, when are you going into production? Link to comment

So, when are you going into production? Hopefully it'll be up and running again in a few days. I ended up painting it because when I tested the stain out it came out blotchy looking. Also the wood putty didn't take the stain well even with conditioner. Link to comment
