Pic not working

Fogvalley · 01/28/2015, 08:21 PM

Let me know how bad it is to move it. I'm thinking basement with 12 stairs.

You are posting that picture from another website, that needs you to login.

Can you post it either in here, or with another picture hosting place?

Can you get me a pic inside the overflow? Also where did you order it from? Thanks so much

deansreef · 01/29/2015, 10:28 AM

wow- not one comment- I guess there are no large cube fans

sethd12 · 02/03/2015, 02:54 PM

I love the cube design. If I had the room that is what my future tank would be. I currently have a 150 that's 36" x 36" and I love it. Yours will look great being able to view on all sides.

worm5406 · 02/03/2015, 03:25 PM

I was waiting to see water in it before I commented.

A_CoupleClowns · 02/03/2015, 04:52 PM

That would be an awesome centerpiece to a big room. Always liked the idea of a big cube for that depth they pack.

What are the dimensions? What are the equipment/filtration plans?

biecacka · 02/04/2015, 07:58 PM

Looks great man. I'm tagging. Along as I obviosly love the footprint

. I'm also curious how you scape the rock work

Newbie Aquarist · 02/05/2015, 01:40 AM

That is a nice tank. I had one built the same way but twice the size before I had to sell it. Scaping around the center flow will be sweeet.

deansreef · 02/08/2015, 06:42 PM

Yes I am excited to scape. Really is a dream reef tank

deansreef · 02/11/2015, 04:43 PM

the beast is in the garage...now I need to get a stand built... be a while before I update again as I have no good plans for a stand build..

Check out the read in DIY thread here on RC. Rocketengineers I believe. Use the model just change the wood size, that's what I did to build mine.

deansreef · 02/12/2015, 05:45 PM

what do yall think about my lighting... 2 x kessil A360we and 1 gen 3 radion ?

biecacka · 02/12/2015, 11:13 PM

What do you plan on keeping? I really like the kessils, but couldn't afford 4 of them for my tank.

Corey

deansreef · 02/13/2015, 11:19 AM

keeping SPS exclusively

deansreef · 02/23/2015, 06:38 AM

Love the cube. I think you just motivated me a bit more to remove one of my center braces of my stand

This is a sketch up of my stand

Looking forward to your build. I have a 240 cube as well.

deansreef · 02/23/2015, 09:22 AM
