Well here is the start of my 15 gallon Nano. Going to keep a veriety of SPS/Clams/Zoa's. Below is my equipment list and some starting pics. Because i know its worthless without the pics ;)

 

15 gallon 24"x12"x12" Aqueon

Black pine Aqueon stand

Vortech MP10

Eheim-Jager 75 watt heater

Eshopps HOB ES-PSK-100H + Seio air silencer

Phosban reactor + Maxijet 900 using magnet to hold to glass

Ac 20 filter

 

Lighting

Here's my DIY part.

9 cree xp-g CW - run off of Mean well LPC-60-1050

 

6 cree xp-e RB - - run off of Mean well LPC-60-1050

2 Cyan EndorStar (Luxeon Rebel) Run off same string as RB's

 

Using 22 gauge wire from Radioshack

 

RB---CW----RB---CW---RB---CW

---CW---CY---CW---CY---CW---

CW---RB---CW---RB---CW---RB

 

Using a 16" long by 4.23" wide heatsink from Heatsink USA

Cooling is a Dynex 80x80x25mm 31.65 CFM w/ radioshack adjustable 1.5-12v PS (.300 MV)

 

This is the 2nd time i've done a DIY heatsink and enclosure like this.....2nd time around is easier lol.

 

I didn't take any of in process pics of cutting and bonding the Acrylic together but went together in about 3 hours. Then last night i finished up putting the stars and wiring everything.....

 

Its very bright to say the least. I think the color mix will be very good as well. can't wait to see it with water and rock in the tank.

 

Very hard to get good pics of the lights. Specially with an iphone....
