Zia Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 So what's the plans with that beast Link to comment
plainrt Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 Not sure yet on plans really.Gonna be lit with a single radium in a big hamilton pendant which is all in mail.Im starting with a 250 radium but the pendant and ballast will run 400s also.I was gonna do basement sump but my furnace is right under tank with a ton of vents in way so went with a 34 gal breeder style tank. http://s5.photobucket.com/user/plainrt/media/radium_zpsc1744c93.jpg.html'> http://s5.photobucket.com/user/plainrt/media/sump_zpsce76f6d6.jpg.html'> Screen top done. http://s5.photobucket.com/user/plainrt/media/screentop_zpscfa10d76.jpg.html'> Link to comment

Marco Madeira Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Hi plainrt, I´m planning on something similar for my next cube. Can you reply with your tank dimensions please? Thanks! Link to comment

Of course, I think I've even been in that thread. That tank looks pretty darn good ... might want to keep it going a little while longer. Link to comment
fewskillz Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Awesome! I've got a 93 that I'm collecting equipment for right now. I offered a guy to trade for his 150 because he screwed up and bought a 36" tank for a 33" hole. He was being delusional on what his tank was worth though. I'm going single 250 myself. Can't wait to see what you do with your monster cube. Link to comment
plainrt Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 Thanks guys.The tank is 36x36x27.I love the 93 cubes also and heard they came out with a rimless in that size recently. Of course, I think I've even been in that thread. That tank looks pretty darn good ... might want to keep it going a little while longer. I cant do 2 tanks lol.Im lucky i do one. Link to comment
supermarvin76 Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I love the dimensions! Can't wait to watch it progress! Link to comment
