ok so this is ridiculous but gonna be fun.
I got back the 93 cube and was going to set it up freshwater and it will fit but it just looks bulky where it's sitting and does limit reaching a few things in the corner.
While have a conversation with a buddy he said "I have a seapora 60 cube that's not doing anything". If you recall, that's the same cube as my reef. ****gears instantly turning****. (Yes, Crusso, that took some wd40 to loosen them up) So he is trading me the tank and a couple Hannah checkers and a kessil controller for the 93 and stand.
So, I am going to have a matched set of 60 cubes, one planted, one reef on either side of the lab bench. I am going to mirror image the floating canopy, run a kessil tuna sun in it and build an extrusion stand to match. I will block the drain and drill it for a water change system like the 12 footer and run and fx4 I have. Should work like a champ. All for $0 because I already have everything I need including blasting sand substrate and the plants.
I can even T off the filtered water supply from the other planted tank and run it around to the 60 cube. I have all the supplies to do that as well.
A buddy is bringing me altum angels to trade for baby Cory cats. I will have to spend some money on some tetras I want unless someone will trade plants and/or equipment for them.
The 60 arrives a week from Saturday. I better get to work. Sherry says I have to finish painting the laundry cabinets and install the slide outs in the lower kitchen cabinets before I can fill the 60.
