Hi All,
Just introducing my 180l cube build. I picked this one up used for R 1500 ($ 100) and it arrived yesterday.
It stood empty for a few years then was used as a goldfish tank for a year or so apparently.
It came fairly complete:
Tank - 60cm x 60cm x 50cm height. With an overflow box in the back. Seems to actually be low-iron glass and incredibly thick.
Sump - 3 chambers, I assume Top-Off, Return and media chamber.
Wave Maker - Jebao WP-25 - this is the actual reason I was so comfortable buying, I needed one for my 120gal and it has been tested and already working in there.
Protein Skimmer - Untested, no idea if it works or not.
2 Return Pumps - Also untested, looking dodgy.
Cabinet - This is a disaster, it is quite broken. It started its life out as white and then someone painted it a hideous brown. Bottom plywood is delaminating and broken. This will be my first order of business to sort out.
Lights - Some K.E.Y. LED Light system but not working properly. The white lights are basically blown and it doesn't look like I will be able to get spares in this country so will most likely replace with something new.
Plumbing - Disaster, if this thing doesn't leak it will be a miracle. Silicone has completely loosened from the overflow box etc. I will redo from scratch.
The rocks were apparently put in the seller's garden so nothing there, and it came with what looks like construction gravel that was used for the goldfish. I have donated the gravel to someone in my complex.
That is about it. This build I am taking calmly as I really only bought the entire setup for the WaveMaker. The rest is just a bonus!
