Polyp Lagoon - a shallow cube

[Clayton Jessup]

Amazing sump, I can't wait to see this tank progress

PL, are there no gate valves with Van De Lande? They are wholesalers only but must deliver to many depots.
Very nice built and I am glad to follow along.

Looks very clean! Love it!

Thanks Scott[emoji16]

UPDATE:

Been a while since the last update, But here it is. Not much happend actually. Been on holiday at Curacao.

What did happen though is I received a package from my mate Pandy [emoji6] he helpen me out with an mesh lid for the cube! Over here in the Netherlands they are really hard to find..

SECOND:

I picked up some extra plumping parts today and ordered the Deltec ZA509 Zeovit reactor, which I'll get next Saturday. Hope to finish the plumbing next week! Also bought the Vectra M1, what a nice piece of equipment that is! [emoji7]

The M1 is a great pump and silent.

Hey Najer! Yeah the sound level is the main reason why I bought it

Very nice mate - absolutely welcome for the mesh lid

UPDATE:

I first planned to go for Aqua Forest on this tank. But somehow I changed my mind... probably the blue bottle magic did their trick!

For the stones I decided to go with a Deltec Reactor. The Deltec ZA509 is a automatic reactor so that'll give me some more easy maintenance on the tank!

I decided to go for hard plumbing on it. Used 16mm pvc for it with a coupling. Just made a little start on the plumbing. Still few changes to make! Yes I know it takes a long time before it's wet!! But better take my time and do it right isn't it? So here's a picture on the current state of the plumbing...

Last but not least!

For skimming I decided to go with Deltec as well. The model I went for is the Deltec SC1351. Should be big enough for my little tank
