Varga's 94 Gallon Cube

[Varga]

OK folks. tank is filled and running with freshwater. Overflow box is pretty loud, trying to figure it out.

Plumbing is simple as can be. One tube takes water out, another one returns it. nice and simple.

Now I need to figure out a way to take 123 gallons of water from one tank to another. they are about 30 feet apart and in different rooms. I'm thinking of drilling a hole in the wall and sending a garden hose through it.

That's some pretty impressive growth. Thanks for sharing.

Wow I never thought about masking tape. I'll be trying that with my sump baffles. Thanks

 

[Varga]

You just have to pull the masking tape as soon as the silicone is applied.

So thats how you did the seams.
Ha! I know your secret.

Looks SWEET Varga...

Man that looks freaking SWEET! I love that tank!!!

 

[Varga]

Thanks everyone

Pemfish, I moved the water and the rock over, the next day parameters in both tanks were identical, so I moved some corals and noticed they opened up so I just moved the rest over too! I think one sps frag is dying but everyone else is open and happy so far. I think the fish look happier and more active.

This tank has a lot more flow and lots more hiding places for the fish.
I did have to trade my three engineer gobies. no more mistakes in this tank

I am exited to have a smaller tank. I did a 10% WC and it took like 5 minutes and it cost almost nothing.

Varga,you sneaked this tank in on me,I just found it incredible job....

after building this tank,and having built the 300g...which material would you recommend to someone new,wanting to build a tank.....plywood/glass or all glass......I know size would be a determining factor but which was the easiest to work with?

can we get a close up of the sump/fuge under the tank?

 

[Varga]

IMO ideal tank is 100 gallon all glass

sorry to hear about you goby How did you make the brace?

just 4 pieces of wood, cut to size and attached together with wood gule and a single screw per joint. painted it black. works like a champ
