Hello,
Making an entry to the competition at the last minute. I'm glad to be posting this thread, because I didn't think I would have the time or resources to participate. Or a place in our home to put another tank. Then we won the 10 gallon AIO cube at Reef Ed today and away we go. We have already decided to put the tank in our daughter's room. And that is exactly how far along we are with planning of this tank build at the moment. I know we want to plan this tank build with safety in mind since it will be in a child's room. And I want to incorporate my wife's ideas as we plan and have this be a family tank for everyone to enjoy.
I'll be back with updates as we figure out a stand and the rest of equipment needed.
Cost breakdown:
$129.99 10 gallon waterbox AIO cube
$209.99 AI prime HD
$29.99 AI prime tank mount
$56.59 Cobalt Neo-therm 50w
$42.63 Sicce Syncra 0.5 pump (upgrade)
$30.45 Sicce Micra micra plus
$15.28 CaribSea base rock 7.68 lbs @ 1.99 lb
$20.69 sand aragonite 20 lbs
$10 bicolor pseudochromis
$2.50 red legged hermit crab
$2.50 snail
$17.99 purple whip gorg
$38.17 purple frilly gorg, golden plume gorg, and ricordea with shipping
$596.77 total to date
