Modded 24G Aquapod!

Hello Guys & Gals!
About 6 months ago I had purchase a 24G Aquapod! I started to research on several forums on nano tanks, and stumble on a few members who did some mods on there nano tanks. So I've decided to mod my Aquapod, and turn it into a RR tank. Firstly, I will most pictures of each items of equipment or the plan of on how I'm planning to mod this Aquapod.
Equipment
24G Aquapod - New
20" Current Sunpod 150W HQI 14K Phoenix - Used
Custom Stand- Built by a friend
Custom Acrylic Sump - built Custom King
Tunze DOC 9002 Skimmer - New
Return Pump - Eheim 1048 - New
AC JR - New
Phosban Reactor - Used

Before!!
When I first purchase the 24 Auapod it was barely used. The previous owner was moving to another state. So it was a good deal, tank complete with the hood light, aquapod stand for $125. I already had a 125G in my livingroom. So I thought of setting this aquapod in our family room.


When I had bought new equipment for my modded setup!
Here is a 15G custom acrylic sump built by a friend of mind with a filter sock holder.

Tunze DOC 9002 Protein Skimmer, at first I had this inside the chamber of the Aquapod, now this time is going into the sump.

AC Jr controller, the best piece of equipment everyone in this hobby should have.

Phosban Reactor - Used

The stand was built by a friend, who builts furniture!


Sump inside the stand

After the tank was drilled for the overflow

Removed the canopy or the hood that came with the Aquapod, and started with a 24" Current Sunpod 150W 14K phoenix
Where you see the Hydor Flo Rotating Water Deflector, I drilled another hole - this is also my return.

Since I was going to put live rock and cheato in the sump, I need a light. So I went to Homedepot and purchase a $10 halide. Mounted above the sump. Plenty of light.


More to come!

 

Looks great wolverine57. I can't wait to change my tank over and start putting corals in it.

 

Looks great, congrats

 

Thank you! Advise...take your time..make sure the tank is well cycle. Don't forget to post a thread with picture of your progress of your new tank. Goodluck with yours.

 

Looks great, I really like Aquapods. Tunzes are my favorite skimmer. Very nice.

 

Personally, I prefer a Aqua C Remora back pack type skimmer on the aquapod.

 

great looking set up and images Wolverine

any chance of some close ups of the inhabitants?

Nicely done.

 

Thank you Jumper!
Steve heres some closer pics
did some aquascaping and added a chiller




got a few piece of shelving rock!

 

Impressive, Wolverine

it looks like a totally different tank since the re aquascape
that shelving rock is excellent for populating with corals
