aquabuys.com has a kit that looks good for a nano post pics of your DIY I am planning one myself

 

[SNAKEMANVET]

thanks for the link, I think i will go with that.Are you going to put it in the stock hood.

Yes. My plan is to put it in my 12G while keeping 2 of the 24W PCs for actinics. I have a 6G so if yours goes well it might end up with a MH someday too.

I figure i will have two install more powerful fans, to compusate for the extra heat.

I ran a Powerquad 96W CF over my 10G nano (when I had it) with good success. Fits perfectly on that size tank, and less of a heat issue that MH. I think most nanos are shallow enough to allow CF to get good light penetration to the bottom.

I used the 20" Coralife Aqualight. It was about $90. It is my refugium light now. Cheato REALLY grows under 96W of light, especially since the refugium is only 7" deep...

Anyway, I am rambling. Just wanted to mention the MH may not be required.....

True but it's SO cool. To have in a factory looking nano.

I just setup a 20 long with 130 watt cf,s.Going to use it as a frag tank for softies. The pom pom xenia are growing like weeds,andsome of my red ,and blue mushrooms need to be thinned out. Thats the only thing wrong with a nano not enough room.

Will take all the mushrooms you want to sell
