70 cube in hand

[reefsandrotts]

Ok
So leading up to the 200 dd I was lucky enough to score a 70 cube 30x30x18 non rr which worked out great for me since Ill be hanging a cpr refugium on it.
I will transfer the contnets of my 40 to this tank after I build a stand for it hopefully next weekend.
I will reuse my black tahitian moon sand,led and k magnum 7 for flow for the time being then will switch this out to a mp10.
Pics will start with the stand build....

I cant wait either,but Im not sure if its to get the cube up or stop upgrading and changing my mind every other week...............

I may just take you up on that and build a rock structure for this one as well,I will let you know.
Oh and by the way I will keep room in this one for that elegance you have just lying around....

Well
not much to update but next week im going to pick up a eshopps 200 sump and cone skimmer
for this got a really great deal on them.
tank is still on the floor since i havent had time to do anything with the stand,maybe this weekend i can find some time to do something with it.

Ok
So I have the new sump and cone skimmer,also grabbed another cpr hang on fuge that I will hang on the side of the sump,
The deal ended up a whole lot better than I ever expected,so I meet the guy for the sump skimmer and fuge and as im ready to leave he hands me a stack of plastic dishes and a 5 gallon bucket,well they were full of frags and colonies..........cha ching ended up with a giant aussie maze brain,tri color vadalia, red planet, red robin, giant green cats paw, joe the coral amd I dont remember the others but I need to get moving with the stand for this tank the 40 is buldging at the seams with colonies and frags....

Well
I got a jump on the stand this past weekend,I have to finish the sides, hang the doors and then finish the stand.I did the inside of the tank with kilz paint sanded it and clear coated it.
Once I put the floor in the stand I will seal that so its water tight,heres a few pics of it as of now.Not sure why everythign is so yellow but all the finish wood is clear pine.
