Cube is cute =)

[hammy]

Not too long ago.. I walk pass a nano 1 feet cube tank and was just looking at the flame angel swimming in it ... I fell in love.. once again... the reefing passion is still there. So i decided to decom my arowana tank and start a 2 feet cube tank. My new home will be coming next year, so this will be a great tank for me to catch up before embarking on a bigger project ....

As I sold my tunze nano 6025 to kelvin81, he inspire me further and a lot of inspiration was drawn from his tank =) BTW i think I am the only one using tunze nano as a wavemaker for my arowana.

Conceptualization came when one fine day i sat down with vincent AA to discuss the possibility of the birth of my tank ...

and here is it. Yup... I am concerned with details and my ideas will change from the 1st concept to the final birth...

Let the picture do the talking. Well.. As usual, vincent being vincent will patiently listen to all my request and worries and advice me how thing can be better.

Can you imagine my excitement when it was delivered ?

Wanna thank kelvin81, vincent and Seet, ken from madpetz for the equipment advice.

Nvr regret choosing 3 sided crystal grade

hmmm... the 2 feet tank was built to my standard...

As usual... I check for scratches etc etc.. everything is perfect ...

Well... This is the first time I have someone 'painting' a tank in my living room... As he was building it, I guess he has to endure all my harsh standard and request. But I guess everyone in the forum knows he can be very patience with his customer. All that being said, I am glad. I was indeed disappointed abt the delivery time as he was late. But I guess, his customer service make up for it

Putting eveything together

I just need to organise the wire

[hammy]

Part 1 of the job ended with the door and hood unfinish

At least everything was in place

[hammy]

An incident happen when I saw a BIG arrow scratch on my left crystal panel!

I thought I check already.

I called vincent immediately and he took me not to worry, when he return the 2nd day, he just use his penknife to smooth the silicon marking. stupid me for worrying for a long time

[hammy]

I was busy working, So i left vincent working on the tank with my brother ...When I was back ... more pleasant surprises await me

[hammy]

having a closer look at the hood ... i intend to 'hide' everything there

[hammy]

The little details take makes me happy.

I can tell you..

the word ;germany' on the stainless steel hinges can make me very happy haha

[hammy]

Trying my best to make it neater

[hammy]

using 3M stuff to organise my wire. I really cant stang the soft hose of my FR haha... but need to point back to the inlet of my skimmer... when I have time i will think how I can make it better

[hammy]

Adding tap water to wash through all the fine dust and test if there any leaking ...

[hammy]

As of now the tank is drained ... dried ...

And Naz is coming later at 9am to deliver NSW and my rockscape, caribsea special grade reef sand...I just cant ditch the sandy look =)

Thanks NAZ!

I have my rockscape way b4 my tank and thanks naz for helping me to cycle the rocks for at least 4 weeks in a clean tank.

Great setup bros. Was wondering why to have the big hood that Looks heavy. But now understand. IT really can hide many things.
