Upgraded cube

[1fishkeeper]

Well I have upgraded my tank. Right now I have a 30 gallon cube. But I was able to pick up a 93 gallon at a great price. So here I go trying to get this thing built so I can move everything over from the 30 to this one with little to no problems. I am kind of broke and this hobby is not for a broke person but I’m doing my best. I made the stand for it. I could park a car on it and not worry.
For the last few days I have been running the new setup and checking for leaks. Just one little one and that was fixed by just tightening the hose clamp. While the tank was doing a freshwater leak test I have been building the aquascape that will be going in it. Now mostly all that is left that needs to be done is lighting for it tomorrow I might build the fixture that I plan on hanging the lights from . But I guess I will have to be better and posting pictures and updates as I go along getting this thing ready to go.

Looking good! Love the size of that 90.

I was thinking when I go to move everything over I plan on dumping a bottle of Dr. Tim’s in it and putting the rock from the 30 in the skimmer section of the sump for a few months. I also ha a couple of marine pure bricks that have been going for a year in my old sump. I’m thinking between the Dr Tim’s and rock and bricks from the 5 year old tank things should be ok for a little while. But I was also thinking about ordering up the 8 pounds of rock and 8 pounds of sand from Tampa bay just to get some diversity going.

Figured I might as well post a picture of the 30 cube that’s getting replaced. Sorry it’s an old picture with dirty glass. Currently I have more corals in it but I don’t have a picture that’s new. Maybe I will snap one tomorrow.

Just picked up a couple of used MP40”s for the build. Now all I need for the most part is lights.

Well I am just sitting here not wanting to work so I decided to snap a few pictures of my 30 gallon cube that will be going into 93 once it’s up and running. I also got a filter for my phone and I wanted to see how those pictures turn out to. So update time waiting on the lights still. I was cleaning up some of my old equipment like the skimmer so I thought I would make sure it worked. Well to my surprise the pump no longer works so I guess I need a new pump or skimmer. Time to go looking to see what I can find. But now to some pictures of fish and corals that will get moved over once it’s up and running.

Love the coral in your tank!
