Very nice thread, just got done checking out your 9 gallon nano. Boy you've been busy.

Will be following both.

Actually I've had some free time. I just completed my Black Belt test and have been intensely training for the past 9 months 6 days a week. It was physically and mentally the hardest thing I've ever done!

I like it, I was debating about doing stand like yours little larger then tank itself to allow for more space underneath, just have hard time with if I want plastic frame on bottom hidden or not. I can't remember those are the 360we or I think they just came out with a NE model recently

Mine are 360W. My stand is the same width of the tank and 3" longer to accommodate my light bracket. The trim is the only thing that sticks out past the tank. I could have easily hid the plastic trim but wasn't that big of a deal for me.

Wow a tank in the bathroom, I think that's the first one I've seen like that. Very nice, will surely follow along on this.

It actually separates the master bedroom from the master bathroom. I had a standard 90g with canopy there for years I used for quarantine but always looked gloomy. I Figured it was time for a good looking tank in there.

Added 3 fish today, azure and Talbot's damsels and a tomato clown that has lived in my sump for 5 years. Only reason he was in the sump is because he didn't play well with others. I know this isn't an exciting fish selection but they are easy to care for and are somewhat resistant to disease. The tanks main focus will be SPS (hopefully) so why make it any more difficult and worry about bioload and disease... If I want to see fish I can go into my living room.
