Ok so last year I went cheap on things(my nano in 90 build) to see if I could do it, I think it was a great success. After the contest I sold the tank to some nice people. After some time without a Nano or a tank for that matter I knew I wanted to build a very unique Nano.
We had taken one shot at this build with a “scrap box†from an acrylic company. I learned a lot from the build, what I would change and things I had done that I liked. One thing I would change is the tank, it should have stayed a “scrap boxâ€. It bows really bad, So on Saturday we ordered a new tank. Using ½ acrylic it will be rimless. 44x10x10 comes out just under 20 gallons. It will be lit by 3 par 38 full spectrum leds. We had the lights wired into the house as nice pendants. With timers built into the light switch. I made my own sump out of a 10 gallon tank.We used a 55 gallon stand and Cindy tiled the top with some glass tiles. Thewhole tank will be re done over the next few weeks but I will post some build pictures.
Thanks for looking
