tibbsy07 Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 If you back out of the IM 10,so with the Cadlights man. I'm sure you won't have to wait a decade to get it man. Sorry to hear about long ass wait,that sucks. Thanks. I looked at them this weekend in person (or what is basically the same tank) and the rounded corners look good, I'm just concerned with cracking glass. Here are my options: IM10 Nuvo from a different source (supposedly they put one aside for me after I spoke with IM) CadLights 8 Drilled/sumped system (only if the other 2 don't work) Now that my wife likes drilled/sumped systems after I properly explained what they were to eliminate confusion, part of me wants to go that route, but I am terrified of purchasing a nice cube and screwing it up via drilling. That and my current routine of maintenance and water changes would remain the same with an AIO. If I went dirlled/sumped cube, I'd have to go 7.5 g cube or less with a 10g sump or less in order to keep the maintenance the same. Otherwise I'd have to double up on water change amounts. I'd prefer to not have to shift too much. Here is a picture of the newly acquired Beyonce Cousteau, the porcelain crab (white with blue spots) is very skittish and hides as soon as I get near the tank. Pictures when I can. Anyone have any idea on this? The snails have been ALL over the base of the hammer and it's been slowly breaking away. Not sure the cause, though. Can I just trim that off when I move the coral?

Mariaface Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Wait, couldn't you get a PicO Naked pre-drilled? Link to comment
tibbsy07 Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 Beyonce needs a JayZ..... Right? They had a few, and I may get another once I get the bigger tank. Most of the small snails have died so the CUC numbers have dwindled. The remaining snails combined with Barry and Beyonce should take care of it though. Link to comment
zooman72 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Wait for the IM Nuvo 10 - I still have a pair of BioCube 14's running (one fresh, one reef), and I hate the rounded corners (too hard to clean!), plus my new Nuvo 10 looks great (according to the various people that have seen it walking by my office)...

I absolutely hate my rounded corners too! Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 +1 to waiting. Rounded corners suck. I had a CADLight 4g recently for my dad and hate it. Link to comment

tibbsy07 Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 Ok so things are moving along. Kat suggested I build a cardboard cube in the dimensions of the display to figure out rock work. I am purchasing my rock dry from jedimasterben. He is selling me 10lbs or so of reef cleaners dry rock. As it turns out... The shelf we bought at ikea is 4 cubes, each of which are close to the exact display dimensions. I have marked off the dimensions so I can begin to make the scape when the dry rock arrives later this week/early next week. My neighbor, who I got into reefs, is moving up the road and unloaded a bunch of MDF board that he spray painted black with rustoleum appliance spray. I am going to use this for the siding of my stand, with some adjustments. Game plan is 45cm w x 45cm l x 81cm h, with a shelf on the bottom for the ato container, a shelf in the upper middle for supplies I use a lot, and the wires and such all inside with mounted power cords. I prefer maple or wood grain, as does my wife, so the MDF board may just be used inside. I just need to find decent plywood or paneling that looks good when stained for not a lot of money without it looking super ghetto. Link to comment

tibbsy07 Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 Well, it didn't ship... The order is still processing? Intriguing... Link to comment
jbb Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 and the new story from IM is no shipment to MD until at least mid-october Link to comment
tibbsy07 Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 and the new story from IM is no shipment to MD until at least mid-october I know that the order went through and they have one for me, I was literally chatting with the aquarium specialty people when I ordered it and they confirmed that hey saw the order ping and that they would ship this afternoon and I would get a confirmation email. Nothing yet. Lame. Link to comment

The back orders aren't even charged. They are basically a waiting list. On another note my wife and I just spent 30 minutes going over scaping of the rock. I was hoping for a bit more minimal, but she prefers a wall, as if you were diving and actually came upon a huge reef. I'm going to do a bit in the middle. More minimalistic but plenty of horizontal area for coral. Link to comment
Fishstiks Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I called them today and was told the next shimpent was supposed to be here on Friday, so they are hoping it will show up any day now. I know I am on the list for my tank on the next shipment, so I am crossing my fingers! Glad you found one in stock Tibbsy! Did MD charge your card when you ordered your tank? They charged my card immediately when I ordered my card a month ago....... Link to comment
