I have been running my 8G BioCube with little problems or work now for the last couple years - and have just recently moved in to a house and decided to upgrade my tank size. I found a great deal on here for a 24G HQI Aquapod (Thanks Jim!) - which I now will slowly start work on with the end game being to move all my stuff from my 8G BC over to the 24G AP (and then of course adding more corals!) so this begins my build thread....
So on to the spec's -
24 gal Aquapod with a 70W HQI SunPod, extra new bulb, extra new Ballast, extra new return pump, a sturdy 2x4 stand, and a HOB skimmer filter UV light (ViaAqua Multi-Skimmer Deluxe w/ 5W UV Sterilizer)
And now some pics -
The tank etc...
ok here's some shots of the Via-Aqua skimmer thingy
Leak testing with lights
Got a Maxi-jet 1200, hydorflo and a korelia 1 on its way
already got another 20# bag of tahitian black moon sand
just need to get some buckets to get some saltwater - and then some time to work on switching over the sand/rocks/livestock from my BioCube
