New Custom 40g cube is here!

[aural]

Well it has been a long time coming at this point, but my new custom tank got here today. wanted to share some pictures of what i've gotten done so far.

quick recap of what i am using on this tank:
return is a Rio 1700 HF Y'd off with 4 outputs
AquaC Remora Skimmer
Aqua Medic 250w MH Pendant 15k bulb
Tunze 6000 w/ controller
I'm using a phosban reactor to run a ZEOvit system. you can read about it at www.zeovit.com

Crate it came in. I was VERY impressed with the packaging that oceanimage.net did.


This is with the top of the crate removed and the top pice of styrofoam taken out.


Here is a picture of the stand the way it came. no bottom, top, shelf or door. those came in a seperate box.


This is the inside of the stand with the other pieces installed


Stand fully assembled

pendant hung... what a pain in the A$$ that was.

this is as far as i got tonight. I'm going to water test it tomorrow. My indonesian live rock from Reef Science comes wednesday. I'm pretty excited to see it. more updates to come as i get more done!
