Here begins my build/progress thread of my new Nanocube 12 DX!! :snshne:
The tank/stand was purchased locally from a fellow reefer. Only modifications done were a surface skimmer addition, and the stock pump was replaced with an MJ1200.
Equipment plans:
1st chamber: Mini-jet 606
2nd chamber: Refugium with Chaeto and LR Rubble being lit from the back
3rd chamber: Mini-jet 606 and bag of chemipure
I already modded the first chamber with a bulkhead in order to cleanly put another pump back here. Here are the pics.
In-Tank
Back Chamber
Flow from 1st chamber is a bit restricted now because the only elbow fitting i could find was only 3/8". I've now ordered a 1/2" piece to open up the flow more from that side.
Lastly, here's a FTS from this morning. Added about 10 lbs of well-cured LR (was in someones tank for over a year and cooking in a bucket at my place for about 2 weeks). Also added 1 5lb bag of Live Sand. Hoping my cycle will be very minimal, and I plan on watching the parameters until they are nice and stable before adding anything.
Thanks for checking out my thread Plenty more pics coming in the near future. :whstlr:
