supernip Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Prepare for glory. Equipment: ADA 30C MP10 18 3w Cree LED Carbon, GFO media Ikea Hemnes stand Livestock: Icefire A. echinata Superman M. digitata Forest Fire M. digitata Purple Monster Acropora sp. build progress: Initial shot: Monthly fts: New additions: Notes: I hate tanks that are high concept, and poorly executed. In my attempt to mask this tank as something innovative, it should be kept in mind that my tank runs on the simple principle of mechanical filtration and a rigorous regiment of water changes. All I've really done is refined [and employed the latest commonly available technology] equipment. also, right click on the picture and click view image to see full sized photos. Thanks!

Fishfreak218 Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 how is this a custom cube if its an ADA 30c? Link to comment
supernip Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 I just needed a reason to bump the thread to the first page, to lessen the shamelessness. I haven't really considered all aspects of the tank yet so I'm unsure about the fish. I was thinking a pair of possum wrasse or go all inverts. Filtration will be handled solely by water changes and media so I'd like to plan the tank out a little more carefully then I generally would. how is this a custom cube if its an ADA 30c? chump please. When you see it, you'll understand Have you seen the purple monster in real life? Yes, everytime I have to tinkle Link to comment
Nemo Niblets Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Yes, everytime I have to tinkle Really? I thought it was horrendously ugly. Maybe it was the tank. It's just purple? Link to comment

supernip Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 So did you really build that pump housing? It looks so professional. Yup, I used a haas VF3 to machine it. Im rather proud of it. Not even ecotech has ever seen anything like it. It reroutes water very well and has enough room for media and a heater Link to comment
Withers Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 It's incredible. I'd love to have one but I think that would take away from it's awesomeness. Link to comment
NaClCrocodile Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Aghhh that picture of the bearded woman makes me squirm. Ugh so bad. In other news, that setup looks very interesting. I look forward to seeing it get setup. Even if I have to see your sig... Link to comment
