So long nano, 80g is in

[KahluaZzZ]

Finally..got tired of nano restrictions..got a deal on a used cube, always wanted one.

Isn't cleaned yet. Got the stand, ugly one, but i'll fix that. It's drilled on the bottom, 2 u-tubes, got a skwid with that, a 27g sump baffled, fans, plumbing etc..all for about 150 USD. Miracle aquarium. Already bought a Seio 820, heater, Deltec skimmer, return pump...now i need a good ol' MH.

Congrats on the new tank! It looks like it has a lot of potential.

Cube tanks definitely present some interesting challenges...I look forward to seeing what you do with it!

The new tank looks nice, keep us posted with pics.

 

[KahluaZzZ]

Looks nice! Can't wait to see everything all cleaned up with some corals in there!!

 

[KahluaZzZ]

yep..when i sold my tank a year ago, i fragged my corals and shipped them into a friend's tank. Some died, but some grew really well and they'll be back at home. Kinda fun and economic. Just cleaned out debris, diluted vinegar into the filled tank to get rid of the coralline (works pretty well)..it's gonna be a long time before i put some good stuff in it (damn cycle). Good news, the tank doesn't leak (risky when you buy used stuff). Bad news, 2 or 3 scratches deep enough..so the guy gave me a little but honest refund.

updated

Well...yes the fun of having a new tank.
I did some paint and varnish, 'cause the original was pretty damaged.
Also added 2 doors with recycled pieces of wood i had in stock.

You're not supposed to feed cats to fish!

Looks nice!

My cats have absolutely no interest in the fish at all.

 

[KahluaZzZ]

oooowwwww...that's why it's costing me so much money to feed'em..

i really really want a cube when i do my first saltwater tank, i just love the way they look

 

[zigzag131]

my dog tries to eat my fish lol so i see what your problem is

 

[KahluaZzZ]

Not used to have this problem, my girlfriend moved in with her cats wich are..really good ants/butterfly hunters..then i had the deal for this setup..then i noticed the 4.5 " gap on both sides..wich is really perfect for them to watch and scare the fishies. Gotta find something aesthetic to prevent a cat-induced heart attack. Can't put the tank in a room.
chrispar0323: I could also imagine a planted tank in a cube, would be awesome.
zigzag131: The have plenty of choice...you got 8 tanks!!

 

[1979camaro]

Like Lotus, I've never had a problem with the cat bothering the aquariums

 

[KahluaZzZ]

i hope so..hey at least they can't jump IN the tank, it's 2 deep.
I'll order a ramp so no top this time.
