Hello all,
Recently moved to Houston in April 2019 in the West side and decided to take a dip again in the reef hobby after about 14 years. Picked up a used but nice 30G JBJ from a good fellow reefer in the NW area. System included 30G JBJ tank, custom tall (36") stand, Maxspect Razor 120w LED Lighting Fixture, AquaMaxx HOB-1.5 Hang-On-Back Protein Skimmer, JBJ ATO system with a plastic container as a reservoir in the cabinet and some live rocks.
Bleached everything and gave it a fresh start. Attached is a recent video from Jan 2020, I think it's coming along nicely. It's a mix reef and I tried not to go crazy on corals and fish but still, it's getting crowded. There are couple of Tangs and Flame Angel in the system which were just added few days ago in order to prepare for 90G.
Couldn't upload the video as .mp4. maybe someone can help me out with it how to upload the video here.
Picked up a used 90G with stand, the stand was useless as it was poor DIY project and wasn't wide enough to have space for bulkhead therefore it has to sit hanging back portion in the air to let the bulkhead fit. Turned that stand into a cabinet for my Badminton club but putting a top, back and shelves inside... Not a clean job but good enough for the backroom purpose, Pics later as I forgot to take pics.
In Jan started working on my DIY stand project as I found free time. Please see attached some pics as the stand coming along...
I used, 2*4 for the structure and 2*6 in the Top front/back width to add more strength to avoid the middle support. The stand will be accessible from all the sides. Three sides thru door and back will remain open.
