Bryan's --Nano in 90 Build-- Thread

[btkrausen]

I guess I'll get this party started

I ordered my tank and stand today.....I hope to see it next week. I was going to do something 'different' in regards to the tank, but with the excellent discounts given my MarineDepot, I felt inclined to go with the Eheim Aquastyle 9gal tank & stand. It looks like a fine setup and I'm really looking forward to my FIRST nano. This is actually the smallest tank I've ever setup, in which a 40B has been the smallest tank in the past.

A few "specs" to get started:

Tank: Eheim Aquastyle 9
Stand: Eheim Matching Stand
Powerhead: Ecotech MP10ES
Lighting: LED


I hope we get plenty of entries in the contest and can't wait to see everybody's ideas and creativity.

That's all for now, more to come later

I think you should go MP40 but whatever, LOL.

Heck... Let's just rock a MP60. 2000x turnover per hour isnt recommended? Haha

An MP10 in a 9 gallon? Can you turn it down enough? lol Looking forward to seeing this!

I hope so, haha. I already have the spare MP10 so I'll try it....you can actually turn it down quite a bit. If not, I have some spare Hydor Nano pumps as well.

If you can't turn it down enough, just send it over to me. It will work well in my 20L.

Sounds like a interesting build!

 

[btkrausen]

Woohoo....looks like I'll be able to get started this weekend:

Yay! I'm still trying to scrape together money for my light fixture.... lol! Can't wait to see it come together!

 

[btkrausen]

Ordered a couple things tonight for the tank..... Black acrylic sheet, Weld-On 4, and some black 100% rubber silicone.

Also making a trip to Premium Aquatics this weekend and I'll likely pick up a few small things.

 

[sprinklerdudes]

this sounds like it is going to be a sweet set up in the making

 

[btkrausen]

Yeah, as far as a nano goes, I plan for it be a unique setup....yet appeasing to the eye, of course

 

[Oceanslayer18]

Gonna be sweet from the sound of things

 

[skinz78]

Sounds good Bryan, is it here yet?

Not til Friday.

Its here and put together. I put a little sand in it just for looks, but there is more work to be done on the tank before I'm ready to put water in it

Acrylic came in for two small projects to support the tank.
