93 Cube for under a grand. It can be done... I think. UPDATED GRAND TOTAL! :)

[dantimdad]

It’s really great when something looks like you planned it. Obviously far from done but, it’s getting there.

The wall
Is just a facade but it had more wobble in it than I was comfortable
With so this fixed

 

[dantimdad]

That’s four 6 inch tap cons into concrete

 

[Why-Me]

It's not going anywhere now!
Good job, excited for you watching all the progress.

Thanks bud! There will be one on the other side as well. It gets in the way a bit but no one will be back there except myself or an employee.

You could build a short 1/2-3/4 wall about 2-3 feet long perpendicular in the middle on the backside instead of the angle braces...

Just a thought.

 

[Tuffyyyyy]

Thanks for bringing us along on this journey.

There’s a 6x6 post floor to ceiling that the wall is attached to in the middle. The stands are built
Into the wall. So this keeps the wall on either side of the pole stable. If that all makes sense. I will stand way back and take a pick tomorrow.

Got the 12 foot tank today and then built the platform for the shark pool

Pretty happy with the way it’s going.

I love that 12 foot tank! I could build a heck of a mixed reef with completely different lighting zones for different corals. The tang police would give you a permanent F.O.T (fraternal order of tangs) card as well.

I understand where you put the brace now. I was thinking you put it closer to the middle but it's in the middle of the wall between the 6x6 post and the side. I might still do a 1/2 wall about 4' tall instead of the angle brace because I would trip over that brace constantly.... ;Hilarious ;Hilarious

The plan is a ribbon of either yellow or kole tangs swimming through it and some kind of small schooling fish

The small tanks came today and they are beautiful!

Will at Fijicube.com really came through on this.

 

[Why-Me]

Will and his wife at Fijicube are awesome!
I love how they ask what could be improved upon on their products at the local frag swaps.
Also always asking what we want for products and they continue to make more and more things we ask for!!

I wish I could meet them.

At this year's spring frag swap I was checking out their sumps.
They make a really nice sump for the money, probably one of the best non big brand sumps out there.
I was digging their AIOs as well. Neat clean setup.

I have one of their sumps and will have some for the store as well.

I will have a couple AIOs and will carry their entire line in the store.

That's awesome, I love to hear that, great for you and great for Fijicube. More exposure helps everyone. I like what they make, plus they're local to me. Support your local economy.

Second 240 stand is 80% complete.

Lots of clean up done around the place. Tools organized.

There is an incredible amount of buzz around town about the store. It's very strange because folks walk up to me in the store and say "Aren't you the aquarium guy?"

That's an awesome feeling! Hope you're taking some time to bask in it! I'm loving the transformations! From this side, it seems like it's moving super fast!
