Zesty's going cubed! 93 gallons of cubes

[zesty]

So, I don't have very much other than some plans. That and me eyeballs watching the mail for the magical piece of paper that will let me buy everything!

upgrading from a petco 60g special! What's so special about it, it's only 12" deep! My experience with a "thin" reef, it sucks and it can be done, but it's a arrrrrgggggg.
So, the petco 60 is 48"L X 24"T X 12"D. Not drilled, eshopps HOB overflow, basic tank. But that's where that ends and this begins, someday...

Here is what I do when I'm waiting for actual equipment, sneak peek, no return line yet, no canopy yet. I also need to route these lines thru existing holes in the wall to the closet sump. So, I'm going to measure up the holes in the wall and mock all of that up. I will update when I get a chance to work on my 3D model!

I'm just so excited!

Oh, I saw it!! :tongue: It's just too much on my budget for this upgrade. That starfire glass adds a bit of a premium as well, I wish I could afford it!! Plus, the other thing is, I'm not sure I would have a large enough skimmer for that much volume.

But I did stare and drool... It's nuts awesome!

So, not that this thread has died off. I have scheduled the transfer to the cube on 3/14 and boy am I nervous! So, I'm going to post some pictures!

This is my SPS rack patiently waiting for the cube.

Fire Hawk Steve (as my daughter named him)

More frag racks, ugh

chopsie I said I love your macro photos. I don't have the moolah for a true macro lens, so I bought some extension tubes. This was my first stab with em...

So, for my tank, it's not going to be as modeled in the first post. I found a used 93 cube being sold on my local forum with two of these Xaquas installed for a great price! (Thanks again buddy) :bigsmile:

Haha, there are a few around!

The name sounds really familiar, I just haven't personally dealt with him.

So when the time comes to move the tank.... I should bring bags to take everything nice I like during the move and tell you they did not transfer properly..

I'm sure there's going to be broken corals and trimmings etc... haha! I'd bring some bags and I'm sure there will be some leftovers. :wink:

 

[KorD]

I was just screwing around... but I will definitely bringing a few bags now..lol
