      5 Gallon Zoa Cube

      So here is something that I've been working on for a few months. Been up since May. Only going to keep zoas and palys. Possibly just a shrimp or two for livestock.
      Current equipment:
      Visio 10x10x11 Cube
      Aquaclear 50 Sponge and Chemipure Elite
      WP-10
      2lbs sand
      5-6lbs rock
      Par38 LED
      CURRENT FTS

      Thanks man. Last pic is a My Clementine zoa. One of my favorites. They always pop so nicely in a tank.

      So I took a long little break from this tank. A month in and I got lazy and couldn't keep up with anything but school and work. So I broke it down for a while. I wanted to start it back up again but didn't want to deal with a hang on filter. Topping off a 5 gallon nano sucks. So this time around I decided to drill it and use a 10 gallon sump for it. Big thanks to jschneph for drilling my tank and building me a sweet little overflow.

      Same equipment minus the aquaclear filter. Plus I'm making a new stand for it. Drilled it with a herbie style overflow. Quietest tank over ever had. It's great. Wp-10 is the loudest thing on the tank now.

      Thinking about going tiki style with some bamboo with the stand. I'll see.

      Looks great! Keep pics of the stand coming. I'm 4 or 5 years in and haven't finished skinning mine yet. Maybe some motivational pics will help.

      Couple updates. Decided to go with a more modern type of feel with the stand instead of the tiki style I was thinking. I think the tile will look pretty rad. Plumbed everything today also. Tank drains and flows dead silent. Have done tons of tests with the overflow to make sure the main drain and emergency drain both work perfect and suppose to. More to come.

      More work done today.


      Finished off with a cold beer. Sex Panther. It's made with real bits of panther, so you know it's good.
