New Fiji Cube 76G EXT Build

[Mayacan]

I know myself and throughout this process I'm going to want to pester you about things that come up. If you would rather I don't I'd understand. Sometimes I ask too many questions it may get annoying but just let me know if it does

It’s fine, as long as you know that I don’t check Reef2Reef everyday, my replies will be sporadic.

Well I've ordered a few extra elbows and unions should be getting pvc and the cement this week but tank hasn't shipped yet. Been about 6 days now, do you remember how long it took for yours to ship?

Still waiting for tank..

I know you don't get on this site much but can I ask you how you connect the return pump to the pvc? I was thinking coupler to barb to soft tubing..

Hello all, new to R2R (well, I’ve posted before, but new to starting a thread). Thought I’d post and document my journey in to this new build. A little background first.

I started reefing back about 30 years ago when I jumped into a 40 gallon saltwater tank. I remember having a wet/dry filtration system, purchased metal halide and really had no idea what I was doing. Gave it up after tank overflowed in parents house, not fun.

got back into hobby in 2018 when I setup a 20 gallon AIO (still running), and this year got the itch to upgrade, hence this thread. Here are some pics of my current 20 AIO (Innovative Marine). Was going to tear this down once new build got up and running but I might keep now and maybe turn into Anemone tank, don’t know.

View attachment 2235931Hello! Your build thread was super helpful, i’m buying the same tank and will likely emulate some of your plumbing plans!

You bet! I went with the IM APS stand and Fiji 30 sump. I'm sure I'll start a build thread here once I get around to plumbing everything.

Which stand did you get?

Which stand did you get?

It’s the one designed for the Nuvo100. close to a 4’ x 2’ footprint.

Nice tank. Well built I have the same 20 peninsula Fiji cube. They make really nice tanks. The pump that came with was junk. But the tank is great.
