Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

[SashimiTurtle]

Someone on local reefing forum just ordered a new tank is selling his waterbox 190 pro reef for $1,200 in the spring, around March.
Maybe I will try to make a 5' work here...?!
Tank and stand, no sump. I have 40 breeder in my garage unused for a sump!!

For a tank that nice, I'd suggest getting a Trigger sump... or a custom acrylic sump made.

That would defeat the purpose of buying it used.
I don't have that kind of money to spend half the tank cost on a sump for it.

Understood here, trust me.

Go for it! The sump doesn't have to be fancy.

Jez where has this thread gotten to!

Not atall, you buying a used tank frees up room in the budget for the custom sump ;) :p

 

[Why-Me]

Understood here, trust me.

coincidentally, the sump for that waterbox is a glass 36 x 20 x 16
and a 40 breeder is 36 x 18 x 16
So a fijicube diy sump kit for $130 and boom I have a sump for it.
Currently I've talked myself out of buying the tank, I have til first week of april until it needs to go to make up my mind, but I have too much other stuff around here I need to do first...someday I'll get my big tank, just not in the next year.

Thanks for the tippy cow... got us quite tipped and was delicious. Reminded me of rum chata mix.

I think it's a beautiful tank and a good deal, all jokes aside it's worth sitting down and going over the numbers again.

Might as well just save up and get My dream tank, no compromises!!!

That's what I said then I go and spend more on the sump than I did the tank and the stand and probably the lights to go with it lol!

My dream tank
https://www.waterboxaquariums.com/product/peninsula-7225-plus/In a wall dividing two rooms...ideally my office and living room.

You guys this is a massive shroom. It's about 4 inches fully opened. I never seen shrooms have tenticles like this one.

These are similar. Much more like a true nem.

Sweeeet! I rejoined the mushroom club this weekend! First reef mushroom I have owned in 24 years, LOL

Thanks @RichtheReefer21 !

Katrina, we really missed you, but it felt like you were there with us all trip nonetheless.
