NanoFever Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 Tank is waiting for me to pick up after work!!!!! Pics to be posted this weekend hopefully after the transfer!!! Link to comment
NanoFever Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 Some some sneak peaks! The tank was packaged so well even the UPS guy was impressed!!! The fiance wants a new longer stand to cover more of the wall hoping to get all that done this weekend. Any ideas of longer furniture that has storage below for my sump? https://flic.kr/p/ppFYzv'>https://flic.kr/p/ppFYzv'>Untitled by https://www.flickr.com/people/126380540@N08/'>scotclsr, on Flickr https://flic.kr/p/oKjK24'>https://flic.kr/p/oKjK24'>Untitled by https://www.flickr.com/people/126380540@N08/'>scotclsr, on Flickr Link to comment
rocksmom Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 If you want actual furniture and not a stand I would suggest going and checking out Home Goods. They generally have a good selection of console/buffet/sofa tables that have the lower shelf and most of their stuff is made from wood rather than particle board. Link to comment

Yep that was going to be my first stop! That is where my stand is from now. Great store! Link to comment
jgaepi Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 So, This thread is now being converted for my new tank thread as it is an upgrade/replacement for my old tank. I will be upgrading...well everything!!!!! Tank-31 x 14 x 14 PicO Custom w/ external bean overflow dual 3/4 in returns (replaced Nuvo 16) Skimmer-Bubble Magus 3.5 (replaced IM GHOST skimmer) Reactor-IM Mini Reactor Return Pump-Sicce 2.0 ATO-DIY relay box w/ aqua lifter Lighting- 4, 13-up LED's from Dave @ Nanobox w/ Meanwell LDD's and Storm Controller The new Tank Thread w/ pictures will begin on page 4! **Previous pages are of old tank being replaced** I replaced my IM Nuvo 16 due to a leak within a few months of starting it. Due to poor customer service and other faulty products from them I chose to just scrap the tank and order a new custom tank! **PicO has provided what seems to be an amazing product and great customer service so far so look forward to my new tank vision! Hoping to have this wet within a week! Looks fantastic. My PicO custom is in "cure" status. Similar dimensions to yours (30x18x12). I ended up buying a http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001BWTS22/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. Not sure how you feel about a little bit of an overhang but the cabinet is great. Mostly real wood. Cheap. Looks nice. Did you get the Sicce 2.0 from Chris or did you buy elsewhere. He encouraged me to get the 3.0 but now I am having second thoughts. I am going to track your thread. Excited for you ... and me. Link to comment

I am going to track your thread. Excited for you ... and me. Awesome! Ya I am looking for more of a buffet table with lots of overhang to the right of the tank. I actually was contemplating returning and getting the 3.0. Although I might just get another 2.0 if its not enough as I got unions for both returns so I have some options. A 3.0 is the safer and cheaper route to finding out the 2.0 is not enough and buying another pump though. I think on Marine Depot the 3.0 is only like $10 more or something. You can always tone it back with your gate valves if you want it to have less flow. I will let you know how my 2.0 goes though. Link to comment

Funny thing is that I sent an email to Sicce USA and Ralph responded: "2.0 will be quieter and fine on a 27 gallon unless you need more flow for corals it is fine for filtration." Link to comment
NanoFever Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 Well than it will probably be good then. Link to comment
vlangel Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Hey NanoFever, that new tank is going to be awesome. I am anxious to see pics! Sorry about your goby. Sorry about the Steelers this season so far too! Link to comment
Chungy Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Love the new tank! Definitely going to get a PicO for my next build! Link to comment

Sorry about the Steelers this season so far too! Thanks! Ya stinks. I couldnt find him after coming back from a trip and thought he might be hiding. My brother came over and his dog found my mummified goby on the floor. Love the new tank! Definitely going to get a PicO for my next build! Thanks! Definitely worth it! Got a new stand thats in the mail that will cover the whole wall my tank is on and will leave lots of room for future upgrades as its 63" long! HAHA! Link to comment
NanoFever Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 Stand arrived and built. Plan on beefing it up tonight to make sure it can hold 27 gallons water! Heading to Miami for work Wed but this should be up and running Monday night after I get back!!! Link to comment

Heading to Miami for work Wed but this should be up and running Monday night after I get back!!! You are probably good. Visually from the pix, you have a center vertical divider. You have a 5th leg in the middle. And if you have a solid top running across, I can't imagine it couldn't hold 27g. Looks solid to me. Link to comment
NanoFever Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 Ya, I agree with you but I like to be safe when it comes to my stands. $10 worth of wood and a couple minutes of my time is worth the peace of mind that even a linebacker couldnt take down my tank! LOL! Link to comment
NanoFever Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 Was in Orlando and stumbled across a LFS and got 8 corals for the new tank! Checked them with my bags! Hope they make it. Packaged them up good enough to ship! Some nice zoas and some others. Pictures to be posted if they make it to Pittsburgh safely! Link to comment
