93 Rimless Cube.

[rhcpnut1]

I've been collecting pieces here and there and finally got it setup and cycling recently.

-93 Rimless Cube setup with dual drains and dual returns. Bare Bottom with ceramic tile for easier nutrient control and faux sand look.

-Just about 50lbs of dry rock in the display and another 25lbs seeded live rock in the sump.

-Glass canopy because of cats and birds also to help control humidity and topoff.

-Home made 2*4 stand and trim and panels. Panels are removable on 3 sides for access. Panels are help on with heady duty Velcro.

-Coral Box Cloud 9 skimmer.

-JEBAO DCT 12000 feeding a manifold that will feed a BRS dual reactor, eventually a RO CR 3000, and a water change line.

-RO CR 3000 couldn't pass up a deal on such a nice reactor. Plan on going heavy on the stony eventually and want a low maintenance setup.

-JEBAO RW15 X2 running on Else for now.

-Eheim Jager heater on a Ranco Controller.

-SB Elite 16" x2 on an overhead conduit structure.

Couple random pics to follow.

Picked up a Mccosker and an orange spotted blenny. They're in a 20 long with a melanarus till the 93 is ready for life. So far so good with all the friends.

Used some road markers for some rock scape building.

3D printed frag rack I made at work.

Inspiration and ideas came from alot of cool builds I saw on here.

I also have a 20 long where I have been stock piling coral. Mainly small pieces like zoa's and shroom's.

Forgive me on dumping a lot here. But like I said I've been hoarding and collecting pieces for about 2 years now and reading and looking for inspiration and then we moved recently. I'm so incredibly happy to have this tank finally setup now.

Hey hey hey! I'm so glad to see this tank up and running! I can't wait to watch it grow!

 

[rhcpnut1]

Thanks again for all the encouragement.

So far so good not showing any signs of a mini cycle. Testing every other day for ammonia trites and trates. Have a small dusting of diatoms so I turned up the flow a bit.

Dismantling the 20L and put most of the coral in the 93. Still have the melanarus and blenny to move over. As well as cuc stuff. Plan on slapping the kessil in the center of the SB lights once all is said and done.

Looks like you're moving along quite well! Excited to watch this one grow in!

Looks great and your use of tile as substrate is super neat!
