My overkill 14 gallon biocube

[Johnnyreef]

What do you guys think? the only thing left is a sump but I don't want to drill a hole or remove the hood so I am done....? I thought it can't be expensive if I buy a small tank ? $1500 later I guess I was wrong.

This hobby is expensive .....

Oh just wait until you get bit by the upgrade bug. I have 14g too but three more tanks in various stages of completion and temp tanks running.

Do you have an auto top off for evaporation?

Looks nice very expensive lol i set mine up for around 500 ! My 90g barley cost 1500 but its not as high tech ! Wish i could afford a controller for my tanks , i assume you put some diy leds in your hood if not definetly upgrade !

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Reefs

Yea auto top off is DA sensors with toms aqua lifter and I did replace the lights with a DIY led kit. My wife won't let me go bigger till we get a house so that's next on my list of upgrades! And here's my water making station

Watch out the first chamber of your ro/di unit, it looks a little brown in the pics you can collect a lot of sediment fast there...which is good...just keep an eye on it.

What's on the left side? Is that a reactor? I have a overkill 14 biocube too. Tank looks great! How long has it been set up for the back wall is so clean still

Thanks bioman how often should I change the filters on the ro unit? The unit is about 3 months old. I have had the tank running for about 7 months I try keeping it clean not as much as the glass but I am still not sure if I want a dirty back. I like the black behind everything it makes the corals pop. Also here is pic on the inside of the stand

Taco that is a reactor on the left with carbon and gfo in it. I used half the amount I should cause I just installed it and don't want a crash from such a change. FYI it was the best thing I put in the water has never been cleaner had to turn down the lights to not to fry the corals

 

[Custom05Taco]

What kind of lights do you have in there

 

[Johnnyreef]

This is the kit I got plus an extra white and it fit perfect just had to remove the old stuff from the lid nothing too hard plus I kept the fans and wired them to the controler and the fans now come on the the temp hits 79.5 worked out real good.

Looks great I have ecoxotic panorama pros there not bad. How do you clean that back wall? I always had trouble with it because of the texture.

I'm actually on my way to ace hardware to go get a new knob for the stand my wife saw yours and liked the way it looks lol
