I just purchased the same tank and was thinking about doing a rock wall with Marco's dry rocks. After doing some research was a bit concerned on sealing it to the back wall so it wouldn't get stuff behind it. Curious on whether or not you sealed it or is the PVC just acting as a support. Read through your entire thread today. Your tank is awesome, sorry to hear about your crash.

I sealed off the back with silicone/epoxy. The PVC is for Eels and a bit of support I guess. Also, I'm selling this set up as I'm upgrading! Woot!

Well, the whole family was bugging me this whole time not to sell the nano because they really like it. So, I guess I'll be keeping the tank. lol Tank is now Not For Sale!

Here are a few pictures I took of the bacteria bloom yesterday.

Bought 1 more little fishy reactor, so I have 3 now. Here is a picture of the back area of the Nano-Cube. I'll beef up the filtration once I start adding some azoox animals/corals. The 3 reactors will be for: GFO, Carbon, and Bio-Pellets once I get a Tunze 9002 with an upgraded skimmate cup.

Just curious, what made you choose HOB reactors over a better media basket setup (such as the Stevie T/InTank basket). Seems like a lot more cash for a comparable solution ...

I'm going to have a Tunze 9002 skimmer in the middle chamber, so, I can't really put the media basket. Also, reactors are more efficient for GFO and Carbon.

Here is a FTS that I took 20 minutes ago.

Here is an updated picture of the little fishy reactors. Painted all the tubing black. Not finished with the plumbing yet.

Thanks!!
Nice!
I have 3 reactors, one for Carbon, one for GFO, and one more for Bio-pellets.
You going to use 3 pumps or just one? Why Bio-pellets? thanks

Will do.some pics when you set them up
No, I'm going to have 2 pumps total in the back chambers. I'm going to remove the stock pumps and replace them with 2 x Maxijet 1200's and plumb up the maxi jets to the reactors. 2 of the reactors will be plumbed together, so the flow from one reactor goes into the next. I'm going to get a skimmer then add the bio-pellets. Here is a thread about bio pellets.

Here are a few more pictures that I took today. Pictures are not the best, but I'll try to take a few better ones tonight.

Here is a picture of one of the finished and hooked up reactors for the Bio-Pellets. I'll add Bio-Pellets once I get a skimmer.
