Back at it again, 45 cube

[nuch]

So i promised myself and my wife, this is my last build. Lol. No more breaking down then getting back in. I think with a smaller tank it will keep my interest. Plus with me selling my other hobby (jeep) it leaves me some time and money to really make this a nice tank. Picked up a red sea 250 sump.

Back to the tank

This tank came with a nice lifereef sump when i picked it up from a guy on here. But it fell a cracked, which i will try to fix. So that's why I picked up the red sea sump. The lifereef sump came with 2 reactors which i liked. So i wanted to use them still so i made this trying to duplicate how it sits in the lifereef sump.

Plumbing

If you know me and seen my previous setups, then you know i always plumbed my tanks with pvc. I had water change tanks, mantis tanks, display fuge, etc all plumbed together using pvc. I used nylon tubes with this and love it. So much easier. Just a little heat then hold till it cools.

Water and reactors

It's running! I know i don't need reactors yet. Went with tlf reactors. Don't like the down flow theory.

looks great.
for just peace of mind i would use metal clamps for the connections with the hose barb mostly where the pressure is for the return pump. I dont think it would do much for the drains.

I setup a 40 gal nuvo and ... i'm missing my 120 lol

Looking good. Are you taking the pics with your phone? If so, try taking all the pictures in the landscape position. I've found it prevents all my pictures from being sideways as yours are showing up.

Hob fuge

Picked up this little hob fuge that hanging on my sump. I think I'm going to set up a 10 gal next to the tank and make it a display fuge. I just have to build some sort of stand to match the tank.

New additions
