Grims 97g SPS Cube

I'm only going to do a couple minor things. I'm going to add a piece of the decorative trim that is on my valences to each of the doors on the canopy, and swap the crown on top for my crown then paint it all to match my trim. (it's close now but not exact)

 

I need to decide on a return pump. My external pumps won't work, because I have no where to mount them. I used a Mag-drive pump last time and I don't want to do that again.


I'm going to run my Spectrapure dual chamber reactor, my br110 RO biopellet reactor, and one day my Geo818 Ca reactor off a manifold with the rest feeding the tank. I'm thinking I'll need something rated in the 1200gph range.

Roughly 100gph to the biopellets. Probably about the same to the dual chamber reactor, and then head loss and that should leave me with about 400-500gph for the return. I don't know what are good internal pumps though. Haven't looked at any in 3-4 years.

 

i-10?

 

Yep. Heading to NOLA in that shot from Biloxi, MS. Picked the tank up from a reefer in Metairie.

 

I'd plan for more than 100 gph for the pellets. I'm running a Mag 7 throttled halfway for my tumble.

 

Eheim 1262; one you won't regret. If that's not enough, then go with a Bubble Blaster.

Also, the newer DC pumps seems to be getting rave reviews as of late. Probably something to seriously look into.

 

The Diablo DC 10500 is what I've tagged as my pump for my build next year.

 

Great tank old friend! Love the cube. Question, you still have that 300 Gallon-in-wall thought going too? I need a reason to come to the Gulf Coast!

Seriously though, that tank/stand looks stunning. I'm sure you're gonna make it ridiculously amazing bro.

 

When I build I'm going to do an in-wall, but it's going to be much bigger than 300g. I'm thinking closer to 600g. 10-12' x 3' x 30" is my goal dimensions. But, this is going in the house I'm going to build in about 5-10 years, lol. The property I bought has a small 1000 square foot cottage on it that I live in. (very nice cottage, but very small) And there is a TON of space to build a dream house. So, the house can be built around the tank. Until then, this is going to be my main tank.


You know, boat rides, free beer, and general water fun is a pretty good reason to make a trip though! By then I may even have water in the tank!

 

If it ends up looking anything like your old 300, it's going to be amazing. We're lucky to have that knowledge local to us!
