24 Cube SPS reef tank build

[Project]

I cleaned up doing some wire management for control board and dosing pumps.

Before:

After:

I usually keep the sump doors off for easy access. But here is with cover and without:

Added Drawer to house the battery brick for power outage. (Controlling 1 mp10 and 1 vectra return pump).

- Replaced return pump from Axis 40 to Vectra s2 with BRS dc of $50 past weekend on New 24.

- Replaced Axis 20 with Axis 40 for Old 24.

-Removed all the powerhead to the backwall and bottom on New 24.

-Got 3 more fishes added to the Old 24. 4 total now.

-Added maze coral and Harlequin Shrimp to New 24.

-Added Klir filter roller to the Old 24.

-Added a bubble tip anemone to the Old 24.

-Added Miracle mud to the Old 24.

-Added random flow generator return nozzles to the New 24.

-Had to check to make sure all my dosing pumps were working collect. Honestly not sure but it hasn’t been dosing for some time due to being snagged out of place when moving things around. Issue has been fixed.

Tommorow will be the moving day for the tank/s? to the final destination to a new home.

Simply going to put all the rocks into 5Gal buckets with salt waters from the tank and use all the same water (plus what’s lost). I hope I can move both tanks.

Took these photos while I was making last look of the tank this afternoon. Tanks have been running on auto mode. No testings and water change once every two weeks. And tanks are doing great. Wish me luck. <><

I was able to make a move without much problem. But the old 24Gal return line was leaking (Found out about hour after going on-line and was not able to seal again).

I had to pick up a used 24aio this afternoon from local reef club and made a swap.


Took 2 hour to break down the SPS tank. Haul to 1hr away and took another 2hr to set-up. All the additives will be back on-line once tank settles back in few week or so. LPS tank took 1hr to take down and 1.5hr to set it back up.

I took out all the miracle mud while making the move. I will add new batch. 1at tank in new spot.

I removed all the sand in 24Gal LPS for the move. Probably won’t add back.

I was pretty excited at this point. As all things were running. But the old 24Gal started to leak and soaked the whole stand.

2nd day. Replaced 24Old
