My Perfecto 30x30x24 build(200g total system)

[Blackhawk Fan]

Details....
Perfecto 93G 30x30x24 tank
Coralvue 400w dimmable ballast
Two Vortech Mp40
modded Tunze 6045
3/4" Seaswirl
ATB 1050A
Panworld 200ps return from basement
100g Rubbermaid sump
DSB in a bucket with chaeto in it
This will be plumbed into a 65g tank that is currently running.

I drilled the tank for the return and siliconed the overflow box on.
I chippped the hole a little bit, but not bad for my first time.
Pics were taken with my phone and aren't the best....

Painted the back black.

I bleached all my live rock.

Spent the last two days making a stand and painting it black. The dimensions are 31x31x39. I'm leaving it open since everything is in the basement. Here it as after I finished painting it.... Camera phone pic, so it's a little blurry.

I was hoping to get this running before my neck surgery tomorrow, but I guess it will have to wait a bit more.

Decided to get the camera out for better pics.

Opinions?

[reefmaximus]

my tank it's at my store i try to post pics during this week.
i used figi rock, tonga branching and flat rock to make my aquascaping.

 

[reefmaximus]

i lke the result of all three types of rock, because it gave me alot of space for corals
and dimension on all three viewable sides.

 

[reefmaximus]

are you going bare bottom on this cube ?

 

[Blackhawk Fan]

I usually run bare bottom, but I'm going to put one bag of arag alive bimini pink sand in there.

 

[reefmaximus]

my tank is bb with starboard . this is my second bb and i love it.

 

[Blackhawk Fan]

I love BB tanks as well. Did you silicone your starboard in?

 

[reefmaximus]

no the rock holds it down fine.

Awesome, good to see you getting the tank setup. Let me know when you want to coe down and go frag shopping.

 

[Blackhawk Fan]

Thanks guys. Surgery went well. Hopefully this nightmare is now over and I can get my life back in order.

Morgan, It'll be a bit before the funds will be there. I was hit by a drunk driver and I've missed a ton of work, but will be getting paid for it all soon.

 

[roshi719]

Whoa where have I been! Sorry to hear that bro. Glad to hear you are doing better though! Once it is cycled just come down and visit, I'll make sure you don't go home empty handed. I like to share!!

 

[Blackhawk Fan]

Once I feel better maybe I'll come down there and check out your and Seth's goodies. But honestly, I don't need anything unless I'm paying for it. I very much appreciate it though. I can see what you guys have and how much money I'll need to bring down when it's time.

Forgot to mention that there's a 25w Aqua UV running on the system as well. I've always been a fan of UV's on reef tanks.

Filled it up and plumbed it into the system. The sand will be here tomorrow. It is a little cloudy.
