135 Gal 36x36x25 Cube Build

[pmoneyt]

Ok after being on here and never really showing my tanks I decided to to document my 5th tank in 16 months. I started with a 12G nano to a 65g then a 90G then a 120G and now 135G Cube.

This time I took my time and got yield at by the wife because I too way to long lol, I am still not finished but its up and running.

I am running Bean Animal's silent and failsafe system and let me say this it's completely silent.

My lighting combo came from Grim Reeper but I think I would like it a bit more blue.

UV Sterilizer: Emperor Aquatics Smart UV 40 W
Chiller: JBJ Arctica 1/10 HP
Heater: 200W Stealth heater
ATO: Tunze Osmolator
Sump: 30 x 16 x 16 Custom King sump
Tank: 36 x 36 x 25 starphire with external overflow & euro braced
Stand & Canopy: Built by me
Lights: 2 x ATI 6 Bulb 39W Sunpower T5 fixture (12 bulbs in total)

Your wife is upset? Take her coral shopping and let her pick something out ..then go to a jewelry store and let her do it again..lol

 

[pmoneyt]

lol KathyC I had to get her a diamond necklace before I could get the tank, what got her upset wasi told her it would take 3 weeks, it took 5 months.

 

[pmoneyt]

henry since all of the rock and water came from my old tank i didnt get too much of a cycle

 

[NYreefNoob]

looks really good P , nice planning and looks to worth the time it took, how do you like that skimmer so far ?

 

[Awibrandy]

lol KathyC I had to get her a diamond necklace before I could get the tank, what got her upset wasi told her it would take 3 weeks, it took 5 months.

So now you need to take her shopping for the matching bracelet & earrings.

 

[pmoneyt]

Awibriandy I did it in stages, That is why this is tank # 5 in 16 months.

 

[pmoneyt]

the skimmer is graet but you can have it in water deeper that 7 inches, so i have to build a stand. what i love is that its damn near slient and once I add the doors to the stand I should hear it at all.
