150G DD cube build.

Looking good, I did the same with sealing the tank tight for any leaks what’s with the extra length of the stand?

And the equipment is arriving.

We went with the same skimmer, what’s your plumbing design?

I have a Trigger system sump I will plumb in 3 port manifold. May just use the dorso drain tank came with.

 

[galantra]

Sounds good I actually drilled originally for a close loop system but don’t think I will follow through with that

 

[enemec1]

Just a few shims. 3/4" off from wall to front edge of tank stand. Should I do something different?

 

[galantra]

That looks good, how think is the carpet? Able to get a rubber Mat or something similar to gym flooring to help keep it from sinking? Might be little overboard though just a thought

Carpet and pad are thick. I'm in no rush so I hope that the stand and empty tank in place will help it sink. I will do a half full tank and let sit also just to watch level.

Looks level enough to me, I have a 180 on carpet and it settled in just fine and is still level. Looking forward to watching the build, I do like a cube tank. Thought about going t5 hybrid for the light? Would cover nicely.

 

[enemec1]

Some more goodies.

 

[enemec1]

Sump and auto top off res.

 

[galantra]

Oh the toys!!! lol.


Are you keeping the top open? Or canopy?

 

[enemec1]

have not decided yet but with 2 cats may build the canopy.

 

[mch1984]

Look at the pretty stuff!!

 

[enemec1]

I put this pump on my 30 cube. I have to check return just to see if it is on. Unreal how quiet this thing is wish I had changed long ago.

 

[galantra]

You are putting a stamp of approval? Lol.
Too bad they don’t make larger sizes

Dead silent. I just hope the reef octopus pumps I have for the 150 are as quite.

 

[galantra]

How is the stand coming along?

 

[enemec1]

Had to make alterations to sump area. To fit the Trigger 34 in there. Moving along getting ready for paint soon. Doing inside of stand with flexseal white to create water tight tub just incase.

 

[enemec1]

Flex sealed on bottom. If possible do this outside this stuff has a nice odor to it. My wife will be ticked when she gets home. Also where I had to cut the bottom of cabinet to fit the Trigger 34 in place.
