DLOE Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Well its that time, i am finally upgrading from my 12 Gallon nano cube! I just got a custom Lee Mar tank made. 36x18x16 with front starfire glass.The stand i have welded up out of 16 gauge 3x1.5" box tubing. The light bar is made out of 1" box tubing and both have been powdercoated white. The sump was build by John at Advanced Acrylics. 24x14x14. I am still working on the doors for the stand. I Haven't decided what color i will do them yet. I will be running a 250 watt radium MH with a galaxy ballast. The skimmer will be the SWC 160. Cant wait! -Derek Link to comment

Ordering up some Marcorock today, going to start cycling that in a tub while I'm working on everything else.. Anyone else use that rock? I hear it's great, you just have to cycle it really good.

Enjoij5 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Wow that tank set up looks great. Rocks look good too! U could prolly opt for a mag drive return. Just get something stronger then you want and throw a valve on it so u can turn it back if youde like. Always better to have a little more flow than a little less. Link to comment
