19 years later I got myself an apartment, And along with that I decided a brand new tank, with some new toys to go with it I was on the waiting list for this apartment for a few months and in the mean time started to stock up on various equipment..... So while I wait for the tank to cycle and be coral ready I figured i'd get a decent tank build thread started up for it... So here goes nothing!
Fiji Cube is a local company for me, and hosted a meeting for my local club (TCMAS) I loved the way the tanks looked so I picked up an AIO 24g cube, It's a nice size for my 1 bedroom apartment at just 18x18x18.
I've owned a Innovative Marine nuvo 20 previously and have to say, I love the back chamber on this Fiji Cube, It has a little more space than the IM nuvo which allows me to actually reach down to the bottom and clean or clear out anything I don't want in there. So far all I have to say about Fiji Cube is good things... I highly suggest them!
Picked up a bag of Florida crushed coral for the sand bed since I plan to have a couple mushrooms I wanted something a little more course for them to easily attach onto. Played around with 20lbs of reef rock from BRS and ended up with this aquascape...
Hooked up the Apex and wave maker on the stand door
Had a little issue with the internet connection on the apex at first, Have the router set up in my desk in the other room, but nothing a little Ethernet over power adapter couldn't fix I knew I had those laying around for something...
At the end of the day this is what I have now sitting in the corner of my apartment... And I couldn't be happier with it.
Thanks to my families humor of 'house' warming gifts, I replaced the light switch cover on the switch right next to the tank....
