@mnml how's your tank doing? I'm picking up one of these myself, and checking out other builds.

Hi Daniel,

I no longer have the 25. Just focusing on my WB130.4 for now.

I do miss the 25. Such an awesome tank.
Hi Daniel,

I'm the lucky guy who bought the tank from Tran. It is currently cycling and I still need to hang the Philips Coralcare LED (that I bought from mfinn). Here a few pics of my progress (I'll get around to a build thread someday . . .)

Wow Andre! Awesome build my friend. The controllers board looks like it belong on the USS Enterprise.

Wow this looks awesome, do you happen to have more pics of how you set up the chaeto reactor with the AIO compartments?

Thanks. I placed a AquaMedic DC Runner 1.3 Controllable pump into the middle chamber and connected it via flexible tubing to 1/2" Sch. 80:

Lenghts of Sch. 80 for the input and the return run down to the bottom of the cabinet into bulkheads:

IMG_0468.jpg

From the bulkheads, I used Colder Push-Lock Couplers to connect to the input and output of the Pax Bellum Algae Reactor:

To maintain the Algae Reactor, I just need to turn off the AquaMedic pump, release the Colder Push-Lock Couplers, and pull the Reactor from the cabinet.

Where did you find this stand? Any exact link or store or item name would be awesome!

It was custom built. The local carpenter does not offer shipping unfortunately.
I am local to your area and would love to get the contact info of the person who made this. Possible to DM me? Thanks
