Recommended Posts

Hi..I thought I would put together a list of Nano-Reef.com's most popular and useful DIY post's. I thought it would make it easier for all of use instead of having to go back and research over and over. If you know of any great links, ie, submissions by our members of a DIY project that you thought was clear, concise and used good pictures and/or diagrams, post it here or PM me and I'll edit it in. Thanks. Feel free to critique. The order of listing has no implications. As always, ..the fine print.

I like those threads where people add baffles to the tank to make an 'in-tank sump'. I have one, but I dont want to toot my own horn...others have some nice ones as well.

As always, sensei, thank you. It amazes me at the ingenuity and hard work some people put into their tank and then, without hesitation, share it with others. I wanted to make it easier for them to find these (me too). SH
