Love the tank and the tile, great work!

Yeah, idk why, it's a really nice setup and super cheap. However, I have someone who's interested but hasn't coughed up the dough yet, in the event he doesn't buy it, it will remain in tact and will become the best sps nano ever seen! Lol, in other words, I'm leaving the coral in it. All fresh and new stuff for this build. I have ATI Sunpower 48" 8x54w dimmable sunpower (that's a mouthful) hanging over it now! Thanks for the compliments, I'm excited about it!

It's already one of the best per size nano I've seen! Excited for stocking.

You and me both! I'm just along for the ride now..I built the house, now I'll let the corals decide how to decorate it!

Thanks, that means a lot! It's hard work, and It's definitely put me thru a lot, but I've also learned a lot bc of it.

Got the Pp15 mounted! Wow this thing makes some flow!

ReeferMadness80G · Jul 2, 2017

added the Tunze 3155 ATO and added some fire to my Sunpower!!!!

This isn't the color scheme I'm going for, but I got my hands on a box of used bulbs for free so I just used what I got. All bulbs will be new when I get coral, but that's still a ways out so I figured why spend money on new bulbs just to light a cycling tank. It worked out!

Yeah, I wish I could speed up the cycling process, at least past this cloudy water! I'm dosing microbactr7 and using some bio rings from an established tank.
