Custom designed 14" ten gallon Artsy-Cube Starfire reef aquarium. The internal sump houses two Tunze nano stream 6025 pumps and a heater. The pumps are mounted on a rotating top (two of the four top walls were made transparent so that the internal plumbing may be seen). Both pumps alternate in a one minute cycle. When one pump cycles on, the top rotates from the propulsion of flow 180 degrees to a stop point. The other pump cycles on and rotates the top back the other direction. All wires are routed through the 1 1/4" PVC pipe down into the custom stand where the electrical boxes, wavemaker, and auto-top off device are located. 1" black sand is used on the bottom of the tank. Four sps Acropora corals are mounted to each of the four sump walls. A Starfire glass ring is mounted in a suspended fashion around the sump walls with 1/2" clear acrylic tube. Four sps Montipora caps are mounted to the ring alligned with the corners of the sump walls. The tank is stocked with eight corals twelve snails, and one fish. Again, this is the plan at this point. I am sure things will change during the build process. The stand will be custom built from an 8" steel pipe mounted to a 14” square top and bottom metal sheet. A section will be cut from the pipe lengthwise to make the tube a C shape. A couple of shelves will be placed Inside the tube for storage of supplies and electrical equipment. The light fixture is a Solana brushed aluminum Orb with 150 watt HQI 14k lamp.
