Mr. Aqua, Lighting by Nanobox/CNCReef

[cichlidtx]

I decided to start up a another tank, Mr Aqua. Below are the specs and some initial pics of the setup. The tank is currently cycling. This will be a sump and skimmer free tank, unless I have issues. I will show progress through multiple posts.

 

Equipment:

 

Tank: MR. Aqua 25 gal (18x18x18)

Stand: DIY using Black Iron Pipe and Tile

Filtration: AC70 modded fuge with LED lighting

Water Movement: RW-4 in the future

Heater: Eheim 75W

Lighting: DIY using Nanobox 13-up array on a CNCReef ASIS612 powered by a

Meanwell HLG-100H-48A which will be controlled by Coralux Storm

 

Stocking will most likely be LPS, sofies and macroalgae in the display. Not sure on the fish stocking yet. Time for some pics.

These are some of the algae that I will be adding to the tank. They are growing really well in my other tanks. I hope they will continue to grow with the Nanobox arrays.

Thanks, I may remove the rock in the front left for more open space on the sand. Here's an early pic of the lighting to come.

Haven't updated in a while. Take has settled in nice. The new light is awesome. I also added a PicoSkim 2.0 and is skimming like crazy. Anyway here's some updated pics.
