Whiskey's 135 Cube!
Hello all!
This first post will be light because I'm exhausted from moving a 135 Custom Starfire A.G.E. rimless cube tank yesterday with 1/2 inch glass.
Franky it's a dumb time to buy a tank because I expect to be moving myself in about 2-3 months, but this is an amazing tank, for an unbelievable deal. There was just no way to pass it up,.. the skimmer is worth more than I got this whole system for.
The tank was setup for 7 years in it's previous location, when I moved I pulled out the sand because cleaning it would not be possible. I'll run it bare bottom until at least the next move then I'll figure out what I want to do.
There is an algae issue which I will address, and an aptista issue which I will also be working on,. but it came packed with really cool leathers! A SPS coral that I'm not familiar with, a Frogspawn, pylops, mushrooms, this really awesome rock flower anenamie along with probably much more that I haven't even seen yet. It has a foxface, a mated pair of those cool black clowns, the snowflake (I think?) clown pair, coral beauty, lawnmower, one of those cool long tentical starfish, some chromas, manderin, and I might have forgot something.
The equipment list is killer too!! Check this out.
-Avast SP2 Black Perl recerculating skimmer with neck cleaner and collection cup
-2 Gyre pumps with controllers
-2 Ocean Revive T-247 LED fixtures.
-60G Sump that I will probably baffle out to add a fuge and filter socks
-Jebao 3693 GPH DC 10 speed return pump with controller
-Steal Stand
-Boxes of various aquarium supplies, foods, other LED lights that need a fix but include the parts, and I'm probably forgetting something here too.
This is all I have for a picture right now, but I hope to get a few more today:
For scale, this is about 8 feet tall

Sort of. I'm keeping the tank of course, but the townhouse I'm in right now is a rental and I'll be buying a house in a couple months. So the tank is their forever home, but the house isn't lol.

I now have the tanks I want. A large system in the livingroom, the 10G in my bedroom to help me fall asleep, and the 3G Pico at the office. I've always had this setup since the late 90's. Most recently (for the last 8 years) the bedroom and work tank were Freshwater, but now it's salt.

Good looking tank Wiskey, it seems to follow the previous build cycle. Love the dog
Thank you Doug! Yeah,.. He's sweet. His name is Comet. He's a rescue, was rescued along with hundreds of dogs from a puppy mill that was just terrible conditions. He's the most loving dog with his family, but he's still wary of strangers 6 years later.Good looking tank Wiskey, it seems to follow the previous build cycle. Love the dog

Thank you Cath!!! Good to see you in GRD
Sorry,.. I'm caught totally without food pictures. It's too bad too because I've been doing some amazing grilling lately.

I think this is a frogspawn but it needs to come out a little further to be sure:

I have no idea yet. It's had a tough go of it, but if it comes around I'll be able to figure out what this is:

I need to get some good shots of the Clowns. They are some special ones,... but I'm not sure what. Maybe platinum, or snowflake, or something. The black ones are a mated pair.

Well,.. I should be more specific. It's 15 min by Uhaul, probably 2 hours by little red wagon
