I actually love this breakout box I got on ebay. It came with a switch box so I can easily shut down my return pump or kick off a feed

My last thing to hook up is a switch to automatically turn on my under cabinet light when I open the door
 
Im out of town till June 3rd. Ill try to grab one when I get back. If I forget just PM me.
 
Needed to pick up my ph so I used an existing two little fishes reactor as a co2 filter for my skimmer. Had all the parts for it already just bought the media from BRS. 1 bag fits perfectly in the reactor.

let’s see how it does.

Ok time to resurrect this build thread.

If you read my other thread about my tank, red sea sent me a replacement one because of a seal issue so I’ll be posting the process of changing the tank over and other stuff I’m working on.

first this is my frag tank build. I had this for a while and now I need to set it up so I can store some corals during the change over.

I threw together a quick stand for it with a bunch of wood and paint I had left over from another project. All I bought was the draw runners.

Primed it and made a pull out shelf

Then threw a coat of black paint on it just to protect the wood a bit

added the light and finished cycling. Need to let it run and throw a few cheap corals in to to see how they do

once I can get most of the corals out of my tank I can start to plan the swap of my Red Sea 300.
