Hello, all:
I am modifying my JBJ Nano Cube 28-gal HQI. I am ditching the rear sump, in favor of an external sump, situated below the display tank, in the aquarium stand. I am also building a separate refugium, in a side tank (a BioCube 14), which will share the Nano Cube's sump. In the end, I will have a side-by-side tanks, one a refugium, and the other a live reef aquarium, both mediated by a common sump.
Here is my diary of the mod, beginning with Phase I: removing the sump-partition wall located in the rear of the Nano Cube 28. Other phases will be posted sequentially, as they are completed over time.
Hope this proves helpful for anyone who seeks to do the same. Your comments, suggestions, and insights are welcome! Thanks!
NEXT PHASE COMING SOON: PHASE II - PAINTING THE TANK IN PREPARATION FOR DRILLING BULKHEAD HOLES...
