bbandu's new 25g cube

[bbandu]

So I got this 25g cube (18 x 18 x 18) and decided to set it up.

So I painted the back a light blue so I would be able to see my new clowns (ORA Midnights)

Equipment List
CPR backpack skimmer
JBJ ocean pulse wavemaker running 2 500gph powerheads
120W LED

Before water and sand

Did you get skimmer adjusted yet?

[jada1]

Looking good Larry..

[bbandu]

No I have not gotten it adjusted yet, going to work on it today.

[jt_milstead]

I can help you with the skimmer. Just get those parts and your good.

[bbandu]

I know, should get them in the next day or so.

Cool.Its more work to get the parts than to do the upgrade.

Good looks! How are you going to Hang your lights

[skate858]

wow nice tank man! really like the background choice you went with.. even more so the clowns =]

[bbandu]

Yea I am pretty partial to black background myself, but I really wanted to see my clowns.

[bbandu]

I have built a led hanger that will hang from the ceiling. The light will be adjustable so I can raise and lower it as needed.

Sounds good! Can't wait to see the finished product.

[bbandu]

Ok I have made some headway on the cube, I got the sir stone mod completed on the CPR backpack skimmer and the water test are looking good. I think I am going to add a chromie or two for a
little while just to make sure.

[bbandu]

Well the Chromie survived and I have now added my pair of ORA Midnights

Hoping to get the coral mounted to the rock this weekend and off the sand bed.

[bbandu]

Ok so I changed out the HOB skimmer from a CPR bak pak skimmer to a Skimmer/Refugium combo, I also
made some headway on getting the coral attached to the rock. I thought about gluing the coral to the rock
but decided that I would just drill holes for the frag plugs.
