so far its coming together pete. when were you thinking about buying the tank? what else do you need to plan. do you know where your going to put it in the new house yet?

 

[Cheeko]

Mate i want to buy it all next week but I suppose im not even in the new house yet
in view of front door like your old tank

 

[Cheeko]

Tell me Are those Reef Octopus Self Cleaning Heads any good I like that idea maybe i can get it full automated then

 

[MTG]

skimmer cups realy only need to be cleaned every week to 3 weeks depending how fast it clogs up. i only have to clean mine every 2 weeks and it only takes 10 minutes. for the price i wouldnt bother but its all up to personal preference.

 

[Cheeko]

Yeah true Just for when i go away ill just chuck the bubble she do the job its rated to 300l

 

[MTG]

i would be looking at a larger skimmer for that size tank. i wouldnt realy put it on a larger tank then 100L.

 

[Cheeko]

i do like Reef Octopus NWB200

 

[MTG]

if you want a reef octopus get one with the bubble blaster pump

[Cheeko]

[Reefin]

i want to create a similar setup to this , im going to try and to a DIY LED Build
what are you going to stock your cube with?

 

[Cheeko]

Well im not to advanced but i really just want to keep coral maybe one or two fish
few shrimp just some sick coral that can handle my ecolamps i have got a quote of Dennison so still deciding to go Starfire or just normal

 

[MagicJ]

Starfire on the viewing sides is worthwhile if it suits the budget ;)
