Ereefic/Klasikb's 140gal Cube

[PSH]

I thought that would be the answer.

Leak test went off without a hitch!

Should be getting sand in and RO started tomorrow after adjusting the floor supports in the basement. In order to do that, I need to move the rock and coral out of the rubbermaid tub and move that out of the way.

[ereefic]

Sand is in, plumbing is done and the tank is running. So far so good! Tank is still cloudy from the sand, but it's clearing up.

Made a lid for the overflow to block light getting in there. Just a piece of black acrylic with a cut out for the durso.

now, the acrylic lid is to block light which will make that overflow into a cryptic zone??? or is there something else im missing

It is mostly to keep the fish from jumping into the overflow. If it helps keep the algae from growing inside, even better.

I try to overthink things sometime, but she quickly puts a stop to that.

We are transferring everything over this afternoon. I'll post pics after the tank clears up.

The transfer went well and everything is in, except for about 117lbs. of LR.

I have to figure out something for the drain as it's dumping a ton of microbubbles which are making there way back to the tank. Need to pretty up the wires and figure out how to mount my ATO unit.

Here's a couple of rough pics:

Got the Kalk reactor and LM III mounted

Thanks, actually it took about 5 hours. Had to let the tank clear up some before snapping pics.
