Thanks for the compliments and for the help.

The overflow has been modified and everything is just about finished. In the next few days i will be adding sand & salt water. Gotta get this cycle started.

Have to choose a sand. Would like to go with a fine grade but I'm sure it will be a big problem for the shallow tank/mp10 combo. May use the mp10 in the cube. Still not sure yet.

Going to mount a floating shelf above the setup an have the 3 par38s mounted on it.

quick update:

Heres some new pictures and a video with the sand added. I am currently working 12 hr days so i have no time to look at the tank let alone finish some desired things.


rock is still not adjusted into its final place. and a lot of rubble pieces still need to be glued in various spots.


runs so smooth and quite

Still tagging along, can't wait to see this thing fill out. Great job Johnny!

The rock work looks more extensive than I had envisioned.

Only time will tell what kind of algae i will get. Not really concerned about it either.


Basically the tank is finished besides a few things. Everything from the holding tank has been transfered over [Coral/Fish/Cuc] I even attached the filter as you can see in the photo for extra bacteria and i added a 20lb piece of liverock to the sump. Ill remove the filter or just move it too the sump area and possibly run some carbon with it. not exactly sure yet.


so far everything seems like it is doing well. Ill probably wait another couple of weeks until i make some new purchases.


still waiting on my other 2 par 38's. Also going to make a strip of mr16's in actinic and other odd color spectrums.


more to follow.

heres a quick updated photo.

I replaced the male clown [i wrote female by accident in an earlier post]


if you look on the rear you can see a sheet of plexy i mounted to the tanks by the overflow so nothing can climb out. i ordered a piece of glass cut to my dimensions and should have it soon. its just temporary
