Cencalfishguy56 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 So after we built up our 29 Biocube we quickly learned that wasn't even room for the fish type and coral amounts the girl wanted. After looking at our LFS one of the guys that worked there offered us a 100g 5ft long acrylic tank for free with stand, and 60g sump I just had to pick it up from him. I will have to sand and stain the stand, put doors on it and eventually I'm going to cut the top of the acrylic and have a plastic place around here make a lid for us. Any recommendations and or tips are more than welcome since it will be my first time building a larger mix reef.

Haven't yet, still looking into pumps to. Still trying to figure out the skimmer. I've been looking at reeffect octopus and aquamaxx right now for the skimmer. Link to comment

I've been looking at reeffect octopus and aquamaxx right now for the skimmer.hands down aquamaxx in my opinion it's one of those skimmers you won't have to toy with, I heard Reef octopus are good but you have to toy with them, I have an eheim as my return pump and love it, it's dead quiet, even one of those jebao pumps look pretty solid and a nice price Link to comment

So we'll see i want to start setup next week so I need to pull the trigger semi soon. Link to comment

Shoob1e Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 So question for you bigger reef guys. A gyre or ecotech 40? Link to comment
Shoob1e Posted October 23, 2016 Author Share Posted October 23, 2016 Went up north for a soccer tournament and stopped by a couple shops. Picked up a eshopps s-150 skimmer on a great deal along with ecotech 40, reef roids, reef polyp, and some coral, orange with purple tip plate, yellow Goniopora, pink zippers, rastas, and space monsters zoas. It's crazy how much things in norcal are 100x cheaper and better than the central valley. Still need to decide on a return pump though. Link to comment
Shoob1e Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 Have just about everything for the tank. Sanding and Staining but it decided to pour rain on us. Link to comment
Shoob1e Posted November 8, 2016 Author Share Posted November 8, 2016 Ended up dumping yhe acrylic tank I got for free because of the scratches and not being able to get out. So I ordered a visio 100g 60.5x18.5x22 3/8 Finished staining the stand that was given to me but as a side project ill be building one to replace it. Now I'm debating on sumps. Trigger emerald 34 or 39 don't know of the 9 gallons is worth the extra 100 bucks in the end. Link to comment
