Same tank, new house. After a couple of months in storage, my 40g cube is in the new house. If you'd like to see the old thread, it's here.
Plans for 2.0... I really like the corner style placement of this tank, I had it placed similar in the old house so I'm doing the same here. I plan on building a toy chest/cabinet for my daughter next to it so this works out best. An electrical outlet is conveniently located behind the tank so win win.
First order of business has already begun, scrubbing everything down with 100% vinegar. Then it's on to curing rock and leak testing everything with tap water.
I learned a lot from version 1 so I'll be applying that here. Quarantine, flow and rock placement are a few lessons learned! Bare bottom and rocks epoxied/cemented together. I'll be going for a central rock tower formation.
Small number of fish and LPS will live in this bad boy. Version 1 had gobbled up too much money and heartache with SPS for me.
As before, progress will be documented here so stay tuned!
Thanks!
