I was getting tired of the excessive light spillage from my rimless tank (waterbox marine x 60.2) and the resultant blue cast over the whole room. Shades around the lights helped a tiny bit but didn't solve the problem, so I built a canopy to contain the light. The difference is night and day...
Well,
I was lucky enough to win this aquarium at the frag swap. After getting it home my wife wondered why don’t you just get one large aquarium instead of two smaller ones.
So I need to strike while the iron is hot and get a larger size waterbox which means I need to sell this one. Brand new...
The tank is not arrived yet, but I got everything else, and I couldn't resist to start this thread!
Start with the hardscape.
I used CaribSea Liferock Marine X 60.2 bundle from Waterbox website. It has one 20lbs original box and one 20lbs shape box. (it is honestly too much, I would say one...
The floor in my small apartment can take at most 41 pounds per square foot (200 kilos per square meter).
I can build a base to spread the weight of the aquarium(s) over a larger area, and achieve a 1450 lbs total weight limit.
I really can't decide between:

Moving from Waterbox Cube 20 to a sump setup. Wasn’t pleasant, but I love the extra space. Will continue to update and look for additional inspiration.

Return pump - Sicce Syncra 3.0 - I've used their smaller...
Ok, my time as come to start by build thread. I've been watching @Tonycass12 @Arcu2 @FrontRangeReefer Marine X 60.2 threads, but probably time to start mine. Just to document progress, ask questions and contribute my own experience for others. No ETA for the tank yet, but hopefully soon. This...
Hey R2R family! I made this thread so I could document and share the struggles and successes of a newbie in setting up a new reef tank. I’ve had lots of smaller freshwater tanks in the past, but was completely naive to saltwater builds. In advance of closing on my new house in November 2020, I...
Quick background. Currently I'm running an Innovated Marine Fusion 20 that has been up for around 3 years had it's share of ups and downs. Around 6-9 months ago I had a dino outbreak that killed 95% of the coral I had, which in turn sent the tank into a new cycle. Since that point, I've been...
