[Mekaeel]

Hello people.i am in the process of shuting down my 1.8M tank and moving all my LPS over to my new cube that is 600*600*450.just waiting to get another 800*800*600 cube that will be SPS dominated.
lighting will be 1*150W MH
return pump lifetech 2500LPH
additonal flow will be 2*seio m820s
skimmer will be a reeftek ts1
other equiptment will be posted here as soon as i know what else im adding on....

[Mekaeel]

this is the tank as it was when i received it

[Mekaeel]

added some ABS sheeting to the back and a few other areas


still a little bit of cleaning to be done

[Mekaeel]

completed the plumbing this evening

Looking good so far but why are you shutting down the real man's tank?

[Mekaeel]

that tank is just becomming annoying (really dont know why) and its too big for a small flat,as things have changed and im not moving to a bigger place now

[millepora]

That’s going to look great. If you added a SWCD in place of the T-piece for the return plumbing, you’d get some nice alternating current.

[Mekaeel]

thats a good idea andrew.the outlets havent yet been glued on,so guess i can still do it.you got any in stock?

[millepora]

Yes I do, will be seeing you when you come to fetch your corals so chat to you then.

[Mekaeel]

Nice Mekaeel, I agree a SCWD will really help give you a nice random flow, are you going to have any T5's as well?

[Mekaeel]

Shane,the ABS so that the wall and wires etc dont show.i feel it looks neater.
kanga.im looking at just on MH,might add some actinics later on
