No sump or skimmer. Most everything hangs on the aquarium. The dosers, Reef Keeper and Aqua Lifter are in the cabinet.

Yes, at the moment this is my only aquarium. I've had many full size tanks and nano's over the years. I am getting back into nano's after having to get rid of my 75 gallon, due to landlord issues (lack of access to constantly tripping breakers). Many of the coral in this aquarium are frags from colonies that were in the 75. Truth be told, I'm really digging the nano thing again, after all of the time and money it takes to keep a larger setup.

I've been running the par 30 the entire time. I keep it about 6" away from the water, with decent results.
