Current...soon to be past tense build thread!

[estevenson78]

I figure I'd post a build thread of what I'm currently doing & what's about to come (I hope). My current set up is 3 nano/bio cubes on a custom built pallet wood stand. I currently scored a great deal on a sump/fuge. I'm going to be using it when I upgrade to a 90-120 tank. I want to be patient and get a rimless set up, but if the right deal comes along...well you know!

In my sump I added a removable/adjustable wall that I want to use in order to create a partition when I get my full system set up with a skimmer etc, for now I'm going to fill it with water and start circulating over extra live rock I have and also start growing algae and pods.

have you seeded your two tanks with pods? you can use that tank water with the new build, and it will be seeded and established.

I have done that but hasn’t been a long time since I seeded the tank. So this will give me some time

Great work on that stand!

Thanks! It's not done...I have the frames built for 2 doors that will have corrugated metal inserts to them!!!

That is a cool stand. It looks more aged than just beat up pallets. Doors sound wicked nice

Here’s my sump I’ve customized to be able to have a section for the protein skimmer when my big tank happens!
