Here's mine been set up for 6 months just recently had all the stuff transferred from the 30 over to it so really it was just sand rock and a few fish for 5 months. But whatever here's a pic.

Hey guy's I'm new to Nano Forum's, as well as the Reef keeping hobby altogether. I bought this tank about two weeks ago, and the part's are slowly starting to arrive.

 

Thing's I have:

 

Tank

Stand Framed

29 gallon tank (sump)

10x 24" t-5's 14 watt's a piece (5x 10k- 5x 430 actinic, bought for 4$ a piece they will come in use???)

400w MH retro kit

5x 3/4" bulkhead's (closed loop and returns from sump)

All kinds of plumbing supplies left over from 125 FW tank build

Loc-line for returns

Home made ABS Overflow (thanks for the idea Stoney)

 

Thing's I need:

 

Skimmer (thinking vertex or octo 100)

Closed Loop Pump

Canopy

1" bulkhead for durso stand pipe in overflow

Fuge light

RO system (I've put the one off for too long and my 10g nano is sufferering because of it)

Money to get all of the "Thing's I Need" list

 

 

Here's a few pic's of the progress so far.

Stand Framework:

[lasongo]

Mine's still cycling, pretty sure no one wants to look at some sand and a couple pieces of liverock. If I'm wrong, let me know, haha.

What the heck is a breeder. Here goes my 40 regular

[spham24]

well you could always run DE bulbs like a phoenix 14k or SE bulbs like an aquaconnect 14k, those are pretty blue, to be honest you would be fine with dual 150w phoenix bulbs even for SPS and just leave room to add T5s in the future if you decide

 

I will be running an aquaconnect 14k + 4xT5 HO on my 70g it should look something like this:

 

 

 

damn, this tank is nice....
