Kelan's 60g Cube

[dsmhero]

I guess it is time for an upgrade. I noticed the 24g was seeping from the rear corner and it was getting worse every month, so I got the go ahead to go bigger. Plus my coral is getting huge and has no where to go...



Here are the current specs for the new tank...

Marineland 60g Cube (24x24x24)
Marineland Ventura Stand
20H sump w/ fuge
Mag 300 return pump
Eshopps PSK-100 Skimmer
AI Sol - will upgrade to the Vega
MP10 - I know I will need more flow
50lbs of Marco rock will be here Tues

I am going to order the BRS dual Carbon/GFO reactor soon.



I also painted the inside of the stand white.

Congrats on the upgrade, looks like it will be a nice cube. Fits well w/ the surrounding room.

Looks nice, you'll like the BRS dual Carbon/GFO reactor, works great! I like the white interior, better for visibility of all the inner workings.

Looks nice.. cant wait to see it full of water and coral.

3rd pic: the white on the inside of the stand really DOES help out; that was a great idea!

 

[dsmhero]

Yes definitely easier to work on it when I can see everything. Updates coming soon...

 

[dsmhero]

...we've got water!!

Looking great Kelan!

 

[dsmhero]

Thanks! Just added our sixline and some clean up crew.

How is the temp running in the new tank? No lights on it yet, right?

 

[dsmhero]

No lights currently. Running at 79

 

[DevonM]

Seems a bit warm?

 

[dsmhero]

Meh. All my tanks run right around there, but when I get my controller I will aim for 77-78. Oh boy do I need a controller.

 

[DevonM]

Go get it... The wifey said you could.

 

[dsmhero]

Updates!

Day of the transfer



Decided to dip all my corals before I transfer them over. Here is what I used...



Here are my rinse and dip buckets, a 10 min dip with a 15 min rinse...







I just set the corals in there for the time being, I will start arranging stuff as soon as I get some free time.



My brother hooked me up with some nice APC's



Here are some close ups...

The corals look great...what the heck did you dip them in??? (...hoping to get rid of what).
