Pre build and hopefully Build Thread

I'm glad my Cade thread convinced you to get an IM. :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:

Seriously though... looking forward to this. Love the dims of the 112!

Yeah, It is kind of funny. Your Cade tank really is nice!

I really wasnt considering a cube shape at all. Then saw your new tank and you did mention you wanted to do another cube but didn't have the room for the IM112. I remember the cube you had that was set up in the middle of your room. Pretty slick! So I looked into the 112 further and it really was a good option for my space, budget and age.

I just got mine. Very excited. Post pics of yours when you've got em!

Got pictures of yours? Im trying to decide what lights and pumps to run on mine. And where to place the pumps. I really want to leave the sides and front clear of any equipment. Im wondering if a couple IceCap Gyres would work on the back wall.

I've only just been able to get the stand out of the box, and the water test completed, so not much to look at. I'll post when I have it on the stand, even if dry.

The tank has arrived. Got the stand together. It wasn't too difficult. A little confusing with the directions, I wasnt sure at first what sides were what in the diagrams. Bashsea Sump should be arriving soon. I've got to figure out what I need for plumbing.

Sump is here. Also 2 IceCap Gyres 2K, a Nyos 120 skimmer and some Hydros equipment. Trying to decide if I want to use the Leveling base, or put the stand on the floor. I don't have much room over the tank with the base. Will be covering up the woodstove flue and painting it.

Time for water!

That stand turned out great!

Thanks. So far im happy with the Bashsea sump. The 3018 is perfect for the stand.
