MoJoe's 70g CUBE Build! (NEW PIC 6/19/15)

WOW!!
Amazing for an iPhone!!!

 

i really love the tank mojoe. I have been looking at the 150g cube as my next tank. They look so nice.

 

Thanks, you totally should get the 150g RR cube, that's a beast. I mulled it over for a while, its got the starphire front glass which is also cool. I am on the 2nd floor of a house though so I didn't want to push it so got the 70g. If you do get it, I want a build thread to drool over!

 

lol i still need to post my 55 in a build thread.

 

Since I recently lost my two original clowns due to jumping, I made a custom clear 1/4" mesh top for my tank, really happy with how it came out. Very cheap and you can get the mesh/instructions from BRS to build it. I'm in no way a handy guy I'm more tech but it was easy.

Here's a link to the video if anyone was interested in doing it themselves: Bulk Reef Supply. I got the materials from Depot and just ordered the mesh from BRS. I had the option of doing a silver/brown/white frame and the brown most closely matched my tank.

I also just set up my Tunze ATO and got a 10g reservoir, I'll post some pics of that later.

Here's some pics of the top, no more worrying about jumpers :

 

Very nice. I had the same "problem" with the colors...brown?! Who has brown windows? Black would be more appropriate, considering the screen material is black! Anyway...your top looks great. +K

 

Thanks bud, I know, I'm like "where is the black??". I guess BRS has a gun metal color for the frames they sell but they sell them in pieces that aren't quite long enough for my dimensions. I barely notice the brown since it sits in the lip anyway. I was so proud of myself for making it, as I'm usually a bumbling fool with DIY stuff

 

Impressive lid! Did you replace the clown fish yet?

 

Thx, I did get 1 new Ocellaris, I may stick with just the single now. My LFS didn't have a pair together and the one I got was just the perfect size and coloration so I got it.

 

Picked up a really nice purple Gorgonian this past weekend. I decided to make it the centerpiece of my tank so I re-aquascaped a bit. I'm happy with how it came out. I pissed off some of my corals in the process so waiting for everything to open back up again.

Here's some pics of the new scape in the meantime:
