First off, let's start by saying GlassCages overall sucks donkey poop. Their customer service - sucks, their people skills - sucks, their delivery - sucks, their delivery process - sucks, their "worksmanship" - most of the times sloppy.
Well, if I am buying used and didn't have to deal with almost 99% of the items listed than they aren't too bad. Their tanks are built like tanks and have never seen a thread about one busting open, etc.
Next, thank you sh55 for the awesome deal. Here is what I am getting:
Custom 70G Tank
- 70 gallon starphire glass tank with center overflow (34"x24"x20")
- Custom built stand (plywood with oak trim)
- Custom adjustable quiet durso standpipe drain
- Single return with split loc line
- Custom screen top (BRS kit)
- Included: Trigger systems Ruby30S Sump (30"x14"x15")
- Included: Neptune Apex Lite mounted in the stand with wireless module for Ecotech products and Temp sensor (no PH proble)
- Included: Reefkeeper 2 mounted in the stand for extra power supply and simple power controls
- Included: Iwaki MD-30RT (Japanese Motor) 600 GPH return pump
What I am bringing over:
- Custom Tree Lamp kit
- Prestige LED/T5 hybrid
- BRS 1.1ml Dosers
- RKL+ for pH + orp
- BM Curve 5
- LiveStock (selling some fish since I want to go another route)
What I need:
- New Rock
inspiration aquascapes:
- 50/50 New/old sand
- Switching over salts from RC to Red Sea or Tropic Marin Pro (which ever is more available and closer) I have no LFS close to me selling ESV.
I will be making a "medicine cabinet style fuse box" for all power outlets from the PC4s and Apex + dj power strip. At the bottom of the cabinet will be a "cubby" to house all the extra wire. I'll be looking for a better method to hide / organize my wiring.
Controllers will need to have an acrylic box "control center" so I can place my controllers on the side of my tank or build a drop down setup within the top of the cabinet.
Once I get the cabinet I can figure out what is the best view&access.
Livestock:
Current Black Ice Pair
Current Flame Angel
A mix of anthias or 2 blotchy anthias
A mandarin
Cleaner shrimp
Mixed reef
If you can tell by the aquascape inspirations, I am chosing lower rockwork with spaced opening for mainly zoas. They grow for me like weed and can't get sps to work for me. I'll try easier ones just to have some sticks but rather have sick acros/millies.
