My first nano

[ClownNut]

here is my first nano. 15X15x20.

lighting will be 4X24W PC. with modded seaclone 100.
maxijet 1200 return. 3 hydor 350 pico pump.
this will be the new home for all my rics and acan lords.
and yet still have some more finish up to do with the tank. but it passed the water test, just need 18 more curing days.

looks good. But why not go with something more intense. Maybe even a 150-175w Metal halide (10kk) with some low power (2x18w) PC actinics for night effect.

What kind of tank is that? Are they commercially available? Anyways that'll be a bad a$$ tank

 

[ClownNut]

i will see how they do under the PC then decide stay with PC or add a 70W HQI.
this the first tank i built. far from building tank for others.

very cool, im tagging along

I agree with AIMFish-
there is nothing wrong with pc lighting, you could keep some nice lower light corals in there. However, if you haven't purchased your lights yet, consider something stronger. 20" of water is actually alot for pc lights to penatrate. This is definitley something you don't want to skimp on.

WOW! Very nice! Is this acrylic? Did you take any pics during construction?

awwwwwwwww snap son

hehe

 

[ClownNut]

thx every1.
i have a 90 i can fall back on. so i will do all PC first if anything went wrong i can move all the corals back to the main tank then add a 70W HQI to it. and most the things i keep there will be rics and lords and maybe couple blasto. i dont think light will do be a big deal for those corals. the tank only 14" water. 20" is long.

 

[piberoptikz]

Get something going in that cool tank!

 

[ClownNut]

here's a bit of update.
almost ready. just need 96W qaud PC.

next week will do the rockwork. it should up up and run by the end of next month. :lol:
