animalmaster6 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Amazing tank. Congrats on TOTM! Your tank is very well deserved. Link to comment
Quantum Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 SWEEEEET. This is sexy. Any reason you went bare bottom? Link to comment
Reef Casa Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 thanks everybody! I find bare bottom more practical - its so easy to clean out detritus and I think it looks more 'modern' Link to comment

reefer859 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 awesome tank. My inspiration for my next tank Link to comment
impactfour Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 What type of zoa is that in the far right picture under the "coral" section of the tank profile? I received one as a hitchhiker and it has slowly grown to a pretty cool colony Link to comment
TravR Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Love your tank, the bare bottom look is awesome. Didn't see any sign of your filter, do you have glass pipes for it or do you have some other method to hide it? Link to comment
_beto Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 sweet tank man... really liking what you did I really like the simplicity, i have a couple of questions just because I really like your setup and would like to do something similar. Where did you find that type of length for the tank? I tried looking online but didn't find anything, I would definitely appreciate you pointing me in the right direction. On your lights I checked out the bulbs here: http://www.rapidled.com/7-led-par38-bulb/ Did you also purchase the lamp clamp from them or was this something you found somewhere else? I currently have 24gallon aquapod, what do you think of putting 3 of these bulbs on top? it should be enough right? Do you have any heat problems? I didn't read that you ran a chiller, or is it because you are running LEDs that produce almost no heat make your lamp heat problems go away. Thanks for the help. Just started out about a year ago and I'm finding myself wantin to change my setup just from looking at your awesome tank. Link to comment
lakshwadeep Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 This is an amazing tank, and some of the best, most open aquascaping I've ever seen in a nano! Good job! Link to comment
Bd2xu Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 What a great, clean design. I saw in your profile you are using a canister filter. Where is the overflow and return for it? hidden behind the main rock? Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 What a great, clean design. I saw in your profile you are using a canister filter. Where is the overflow and return for it? hidden behind the main rock? I think he said it was removed for the picture. Link to comment
ala Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I think he said it was removed for the picture. I was just looking at the main tank pic searching for the intake and return (which I guess were removed for the pic), and also realized that it looks like the 3 metal pipes that hold the lights were photoshopped out of the pic (obviously PS'd because the tank is still illuminated and you can see the artifacts from the photoshopping on the rim of the glass). I think the tank is beautiful regardless, but in my opinion a huge part of the challenge in creating a beautiful tank is not only the livestock/corals and aquascape, but also the solutions reefers must come up with to hiding the hardware, not just simply photoshopping it out.

Now that you mention it, I see that too. I agree with you. Link to comment
nanolutionary Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Hey Chris, I'm wondering about your 15 gallon nano reef, in the photos I can't see where the overflow is to your Fluval filter or any return pipes? I'm gathering the VorTech MP10 is some kind of water movement device right? Link to comment
