93 Gallon Cube build!

BPiers · Feb 27, 2017

So its been a while since I last updated.
Don't have the best news. Something, at a biological level corrupted all of my acros. I lost every one. Tank params are on point, stable and steady. Nothing new with WC's.
I lost my red planet colony...she was 14" across

Tried fragging, but nothing stuck.
I think this may be time for me to push the clutch in and shift over to LPS for a bit. Besides, I have a local move in the next few weeks to do on this tank.
Can't say I'm very happy about the losses naturally :/ but, it happens in this hobby. Sometimes without explanation.

Yeah, its heartbreaking but these things do happen. Can't bring myself to post pics.

it will have to wait for the phoenix to rise...

dang man. Sorry to hear the bad news. You had a beautiful tank. Did the rainbow chalices make it?

BPiers · Mar 8, 2017

Yep, all of the LPS are solid. Lost all acros but two. :/ The whole red planet! Man she was a big one! Hated that but nothing could be done.
Tomorrow is tank breakdown. Storing the corals, rock, and fish at a friends place till Tuesday. Should be a pretty simple move, and although I think I'll miss the stonys, I'm looking forward to the change of pace. Have any zoas

I hope the move went well. Have you still been on the LPS lately?

I am starting my own cube here shortly, and the stand terrifies me, did you modify it? IT seems to have more open sides than mine.

Did you have any problem with your Apex modules and power cords stretching that far above the tank?

I hope all is well!

I did modify the stand, but only in height. This stand comes standard with removable sides in addition to the door in the front. Very nice design.
No issues with my Apex and cords...if anything they're long.
Lots of changes to this tank lately....Radion G4 Pro, more Apex stuff (including COR pump), more flow etc.
Considering selling the tank though...I don't spend as much time with it as I used to.

I have a raiser my girlfriends wood working engineer father built for us, simply not enough clearance for skimmer and other equipment.

You have the marineland 93 gallon cube ventura stand right? You're about to blow my find if you're telling me these panels are removable and I havent realized yet.
