Congratulations chief. I'll be following along to see the transformation on this one for sure! GLWB

Cool! Neat tall/wide dimensions.

Nice tank! Wonder what the name of LFS you get it from. Thx

Well it’s been a productive week on the aquarium front.

180 gallon is in the garage and I am starting to peel the black backing off of the one side.

I also made some acrylic panels cut to fit the biocube and some new frags in the rack !

thank you! I love it too!

I am currently in the process of planning where I want it. I believe I will have to remove the door frame to get it into my downstairs haha

that and planning the filtration for the back section.

I've never seen 180 gallon Cube before

Apparently it was custom made by my reef creations. I haven’t seen anything like it but love the all in one style.

I almost forgot, I also ordered my polishing kit!!

Awesome tank cant wait to see it set up.

Saw this up for sale and was intrigued, glad I get to tag along and see it get built up!

Where did you see it for sale? I’m interested if it is the same or there’s another one floating around out there?? This was picked up in Gorham, ME

It was def this one, as the writing on the front was the same. I'm not exactly sure where I saw it to be honest.

Roger that! Kind of like the idea of it being 1 of 1

yeah I ended up trading some unique tanks I had for it. 8’ long and some interesting angled fronts. But I’m a huge biocube fan and when I saw this, had to have it!

a 180 AOI cube is super cool. If I wasn't renting my home right now I would've considered it!

I rent also hahahahaha couldn’t resist

Been a productive weekend! All the black plastic peeled off the tank and starting to clean it up.

That really is quite a lot of volume in the back AIO portion. Does the skimmer go on a stand or would you use an HOB skimmer or how does that work?

 

[Stuartf]

yeah it is! My plan is to have a small secondary tank along with the whole aio filtration back there. I have a HOB skimmer I will probably start it with but open to any ideas and suggestions for planning out the filtration!
