I considered this setup at one point for a 40 breeder. I just 3d printed a large overflow box with the intention of the canister intake, heater and ATO all being out of view in it. I still have the stuff, maybe I'll get back to it at some point.
Back after 7 years..... Nano 10g

Very nice.
Little update, Tank is doing well and I'm getting some nitrates so that's a good sign. I'm doing a dark cycle so I don't have any diatoms or algae. Next week will be 4 weeks so looking to get a light on the tank. I have been thinking about the kessil A80 but wondering if that would give enough coverage and light. I have been looking at the new Aqua Illumination Blade Smart grow and glow combo and thinking 1 each of those in the 12" would be prefect. any input from you guys ? I want that kessil shimmer tho.

I'd like to see some blades in action. No stores up here even have them yet. Seems like there's been some complaints of shoddy QC and inconsistent spectrum on the blades. This thread tells a lot of the concerns.Little update, Tank is doing well and I'm getting some nitrates so that's a good sign. I'm doing a dark cycle so I don't have any diatoms or algae.

AquaIllumination Blade Announced
It's probably best to wait until the early adopters get all the kinks worked out.
Good info thanks for that, I'm leaning towards 2 A80's my tank is a 10 gallon 20x10x12
Nice. There's definitely some successful tanks with those. @SwissFragReefer has beautiful tanks running the Red Sea lights.
Wow ya thats stunning!Nice. There's definitely some successful tanks with those. @SwissFragReefer has beautiful tanks running the Red Sea lights.
Looking really good. If your clown isn’t showing any stress, I wouldn’t say you’re having any issues
No he is a crazy little guy no signs of stress and is very active and hungry lol
So I had a business trip for 6 weeks but I'm back and got the tank all cleaned up. It ran for 9 weeks without a water change or cleaning. It was nasty to say the least but it only took a week and 2 50% water changed to get it clean. I also upgraded the filter to the aqua clear 50 for more flow, I have a small powerhead to help the build up on the sand and the surface moving. So stock is just a clown, 3 hermits and 2 nassarius snails. The ATO is still working fine but need to fill every 2 or 3 days as it's only 16oz.

Looking great still!
Thinking about adding a neon goby, dottyback or damsel next, I'm not having any issues with levels besides a low PH that was 7.8 the other day. I just need to add a HOB protein skimmer or something to add air into the system, that's my next project. any idea's would be appreciated.
