32 EXT Fiji Cube - Nano Dream Build

Looking great! Almost looks like you have an LED strip under the tank lol

Appreciate it! Yeah, the pink light is weird with the tank lights on so I’ve set the schedule to go just dim white while the display lights are on.

The refugium is working great as an algae scrubber lol

(The camera makes it look way more green than it is. There is a ton of film algae on the acrylic walls.)

I also built that white foam box to reflect as much light back into the refugium and reduce the light spill. Works decent

I made a simple light shade/hood and I’m enjoying it! Keeps the lights out of my sons eyes too since he’s always over here.

My flame hawkfish is always creepin under the rocks.

My phone fits perfect between my lights..

I’m going to need to build a clear platform for top down shots when the flow is off!

Ai sent me replacement lenses at no charge. Diodes are still working fine.

This is the violet and UV channel.

I haven’t made the choice on which t5 bulbs to run. I either want to do all blue plus or 2 blue plus and 2 true actinic. I feel like I have to get the bulbs to decide.

Six line wrasse added! One of my favorites.

First two tester corals are in! Waited over two months for this!

Purple stylophora and an orange digitata(I think)

Looking good! How will you manage testing alk and dosing?

Hannah checker and salifert to back it up for alk. I really want to do kalkwasser for this tank. It will be my first time with kalk so I’m nervous honestly. I will probably do all for reef until demand is higher. Right now Red Sea A and B in tiny amounts are enough. Mostly just the alk right now.

I have a question for you...I'm looking to purchase this tank and stand w/o the sump and either get the DIY kit to turn a standard 10 gallon into the sump or get the Fiji -20 sump that has the built-in refugium compartment.

The question is what are the interior dimensions of the stand?
A standard Aqueon 10 gallon is 20.25" x 10.5" x 12.6" and the Fiji-20 sump is 20" x 15" x 16".

Just want to ensure that either of these options will fit under there.

System is looking good so far by the way and looking forward to see how it goes in the future.
