DBarsotti's 105g Cube

[DBarsotti]

Thanks everyone!

Tonight I added another 30 gallons of water, added salt and then after a few hours added the sand.

Hopefully I will have the tank plumbed by Friday.

I plan on adding some of my current tanks water, few pieces of live rock and a heater possibly tomorrow to start a cycle. I want this tank to be as similar to my current tanks water as possible so I don't stress out my critters.


Blah blah blah pictures

Skimmer and sand storm

Here is something pretty awesome.. The difference between light going through the front starphire glass and the rear regular glass

You should send the blue prints of your stand and canopy somewhere to get mass produced. Phenomenal custom work! I can not wait to see this tank stocked!

Thanks man, yeah that sand has a lot of dust in it. Skimmer will hopefully have it cleared up tomorrow so I can get this thing started.

That's what I thought as well. its crazy to see how much more clear the starphire is. I'm really glad I decided to go with it.

Clean!!

 

[DBarsotti]

Thanks guys!

Spent pretty much the entire day plumbing the tank. I probably should have done all this before I filled the tank with water so I could of accessed the plumbing from the back but regardless, I got it done. Working in that tiny little area was difficult to say the least.

Few pictures I snapped I'll get more tomorrow. I'm hoping to move my livestock in on Sunday but we'll see.

The tank is running by there's still serval things I need to hook up.. Radion, mp's, power heads, carbon, fuge and ATO..

Haha sorry sorry. Yes ive got one mp40 and an mp10 right now. I am more than likely going to try to find another used mp40 and get rid of the mp10

I really want to have complete control of this tank so I'm trying to plug everything into my apex and at some point get it hooked up to my iPhone.
