I would like.My nano has 40cmx30cmx40cm.I'm in doubt about the size of the support.

Added both of my pumps and now there is so much flow in the tank! I added a Nero 3 and a Maxspect Jump 2k gyre. I absolutely love the way I hid the gyre.

Wow, this is so clever. Looking forward to the progress.

So the acrylic piece attaches securely with just silicone?

Just siliconed it down, then once it cures I will silicone around as an extra layer. Also I did not center it do to the fact that I’ll get more rock out on a side I can view from.

This is a pretty cool setup! Did you leave enough room to clean the back glass or does the aspect of putting the bracket in preclude that?

Yes! Spoke with a couple acrylic manufacturers and they all recommend silicone

It will definitely be tough to clean the back glass, but I can get some of it. I’ll be using a magic eraser so I think that will make it a bit easier?

First off I have to say this is pretty amazing. I have never seen this done before. Second I have never cleaned my back glass on any tank

Thank you! But not my idea look up floating reef on YouTube and that was my inspiration! And I might be saying that I’ll clean it but that will most likely last a month

Alas! We are floating, have to clean the bottom of the tank but other than that it’s ready for water. I will hold off on the water since I’ll be on a 2 week vacation.

Side note - I decided I will be switching the light to a Radion XR15 G6 Pro

This looks really nice!

Nice looking scape. Can't wait to see a few things added over next few weeks

My LFS did a floating scape but used magnets glued into back of rock, and magnets on inside of back AIO filter compartment for same effect. I like your idea better

Thank you, I also thought of magnets but was slightly worried that it might leach out something if I didn’t check them often

Small update!

This tank is chugging along, had a point where bryposis started to grow but my two mithrax crabs took care of it instantly. Now I’m just waiting around. I most likely will start with some easy sps soon and go from there but first I was to solve an issue I’m having. The water for some reason seems cloudy and it’s been cloudy for 2 weeks now. Any suggestions on what could be going on?
