I’m excited to post this tank, when I was shopping I couldn’t find anyone else with a FijiCube drop off tank yet. There weren’t any reviews or videos of it setup so I was a little nervous. But about 6 weeks in and so far, so good. This isn’t a new build per se, this started as a Fluval 13.5 Christmas present to my 3 Y.O. Daughter then grew to a 40b tank. Recently we had a leak somewhere on the 40b so we needed a new tank. Prior to setting up the 40b I had reached out to a couple of companies to see if they could build a custom drop off tank to my specs (this was before Fijicube’s options) at the time the quotes were a little too much to justify so instead I picked up the 40b, drilled it and built a super budget tank. About a year in I started to see small salt creep in the plastic trim around the bottom. Around 2 years in I would clean the salt creep in the morning and I’d have salt dripping off the trim by dinner so I needed to either pull this whole tank apart and see if I could fix it or upgrade. I looked at every LFS within 3 hours of me for a 3 foot peninsula and no one had a reef ready option available. After that I found the FijiCube tank online and ordered it that day.
So here’s the current setup:
Tank: 84G Fiji Cube Drop Off
Lights: 2x Ecotech Radion XR15 gen 5 blue
Water movement: 2x AI Nero3, Sicce voyager 3
Return: Ecotech S2
Filtration: FijiCube rollermat
Clear Water Algae Scrubber
Bubble Magus 5 Elite skimmer
Control: Neptune Apex Pro
Tunze Osmolator 3 Nano
