brad908 Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 Tuesday night can't come soon enough. The stand has been within 2 hours of me since yesterday. Damn ups. Link to comment
Illuiix Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 That, looks pretty solid my friend. Link to comment
brad908 Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 That, looks pretty solid my friend. Thanks man. Really happy I painted 4" on each side of the corner, really blends the mp10's and heater in nicely. I was thinking of doing a U shape scape, but that is way too much rock for my taste. Probably gonna do a large rock to hide the corner, then random little islands/valleys. Link to comment
BattleAthletics Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 What cube is that? A ada? Link to comment
Illuiix Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Ehh u shape scape is too much work imo. Keep it simplicity my friend. Link to comment
brad908 Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 What cube is that? A ada? Low iron mr aqua. Wasn't sure if this tank would be up for more than a year, so didn't feel the need to pay $200+ more This tank is almost just as good as the Ada's I've had Link to comment
brad908 Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 Almost done with the stand. Water by 9:00pm Link to comment
Dramad1 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Looking great. Major flow right there, liking the blk corner as well. Good job! Link to comment
brad908 Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 No time to put on doors. Need water. Link to comment
evo_2679 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Wow !!! Looks clean !!! Following this build !!! Link to comment
brad908 Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 Andddd done for the night. Put in about 18 pounds of sand and 15 gallons of water. Rocks come tomorrow, so will do my scape, top off the tank, and let it sit for the next 3-4 weeks! Have to get a longer arm to hang the light too. Shout out to animal planet for playing Great Barrier Reef and blue planet : seas of life, while I was doing this tonight. Link to comment
Jstn Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Getting there, I love the lack of much equipment, just power heads, heater and lights. Link to comment
gqlmao Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I love the way those powerheads are concealed in the black strip, very sleek. At those angles you will be able to produce some nice counterflow Link to comment
Gramophone Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Very cool! Looking forward to seeing some rock in there Link to comment

I really enjoyed a low scape on the last tank, so I can watch all the fish swim in the open water. Going with 4 small islands Link to comment
hey Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Thanks everyone! I really enjoyed a low scape on the last tank, so I can watch all the fish swim in the open water. Going with 4 small islands just my opinion, but you could ditch the rock in the front corner and have a nice area to keep sand bed lps and keep it from looking too symmetrical. I regret not having a bigger sand bed area in my cube. Link to comment
Illuiix Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Sooo which scoly did you buy?? Lol. Link to comment
1.0reef Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 just my opinion, but you could ditch the rock in the front corner and have a nice area to keep sand bed lps and keep it from looking too symmetrical. I regret not having a bigger sand bed area in my cube. I agree, but I think it's a really nice one and should be placed under the one in the back corner to add extra height and more hiding areas, etc Link to comment
brad908 Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 Sooo which scoly did you buy?? Lol. ALL OF THEM Link to comment
