Hello everyone!
This is going to be my build thread for the 100g cube tank that I just picked up from @reefbox. I will be calling it the wedding cube as i convinced my new wife to let me take on this project as my wedding gift to her.
The tank is 30x30x26 in. Made from 1/2 in low iron glass. The reason it was taken down is the silicone on the back panel gave out. I will be cutting apart the entire tank and rebuilding it from the panes up.
The sump I will eventually be running on it is a trigger systems sapphire 39. I have some equipment I will be running on it during start up. I will list it when I get to the point of going through what I have. The rest is still up in the air.
I am very excited for any fish stocking ideas anyone may have. I am leaning towards a fowlr setup for this one since I have a 125 mixed reef already. And I would like to have some of those beautiful fish that can’t be kept with corals. I think at the moment the only fish my wife for sure wants is a captive bred yellow tang or potentially purple since we lost ours during a power outage. She also loves starfish so that would open the door to some of those species as well.
I am leaning towards bare bottom or coarse coral rubble. I am not set on either and open to any thoughts that might be out there. I have plenty of very cycled rock as well so I will most likely be constructing a hnsa style aquascape. Again nothing is set in stone yet so I am open to ideas on the design of the rock work when I get to that point.
Here’s some pictures of the transportation process as well as the broken seam.
