Hi,
I'm new to this forum. I've already met some really cool people on SOCALIREEF. So, thank you. This my first every build thread on here. So here we go!
The OLD.
I had a 28 gallon Nanocube
Intank media basket
Chinese d120 led
Vortech Mp10.
15lbs. of live rocks.
chemipure elite
Purigen
10lb of live rocks
and corals etc.
Pros:
I loved the NanoCube setup. Nice, Simple and Easy and all in one. Why I chose the Nanocube? because I was constantly moving from city to city due to work, now I'm permanently here in Ontario, CA. I wanted something easy that I can move around still and maintenance would be simple. I do weekly water changes about 40% with RED SEA coral pro. I love it. Coral growth was awesome.
Cons:
Not a lot of room inside the tank. When I would move corals around I would accidentally break other corals. Uuggghh. I had to watch where I would put my LPS and Clams and Sps.

I just picked up a 45 gallon JBJ RL rimless. Couldn't beat the price of 300 with tax 323
.
I feel like it's simple tank due to the all in one filtration and easy to move again option around the house.
What kind of stand? 1/07/2014
I was going to buy the stand but for $230? yikes! So, I had decided to give a DIY stand a shot.. Still working on this. I've never built a stand before so here we goo!!!
Still not done yet. I'm working on it.

I decided to order a Kessil A350w. People from another thread recommended it, so ill give it a try.
Still more to come.
