Re: D2mini's New 130g Rimless Cube Build Thread
Tank and sump are being worked on this week. Done by the weekend? Mayyyybe....
Meanwhile I got some more stuff in.
A dual reactor from Bulk Reef Supply with a canister of Rox Carbon and a canister of High Capacity GFO. Got a maxi-jet 1200 to run that, and a second one to run my UV light. Also got some of my plumbing supplies ordered from Savko.com which will be here this wednesday. I received two of the 4-outlet American DJ power centers but not sure yet if I'm going to utilize both or where I'm going to mount them.
Also managed to cut into the top of my stand to make room for the tank's bulkheads and then slapped on a piece of that pink insulation foam from home depot. Used a little bit of it under the stand too to help level it on my severely unlevel floor.
Got some samples in from
FLOR modular carpet tiles but I'm still unsure what style/color I want around the stand.
Talked to kyle who's building my tank. I originally thought it was all 1/2" thick glass but now he's doing the bottom in 3/4". This is going to be one HEAVY tank. I'm estimating it has an empty weight of around 240lbs. So my dilemma right now is how to get it from his shop to my house. It's less than 10 miles but if I do it myself it would entail renting a u-haul pick up, finding 3 other guys, worrying about dropping it while getting it off the truck bed, through the french doors of my house and up onto the stand, etc. Plan B is to hire out one of my LFS' to do it all for me at the cost of around $175. I'm thinking Plan B is the way to go. Costly, but it's peace of mind because if they eff up, i'm not out butt wads of money.
So how's that for an update? :D
