New nano guy

[Mitchell]

Hey folks

 

Although not being new to reef tanks, I am new to nano's.

 

Picked this little guy up at the LFS today. Some guy had it built as a sump, then backed out. They were happy to give it to me

 

Sooooooo Im gonna do a Nano !!

 

It measures 16.5 high 16 long 12 deep

 

So that would be a 13 gallon tank.

 

More ???? to follow:| ???

You can fit a dual 32 watt hood on that tank perfectly!

square tanks are way sexy open top.

 

i vote you hang a pendant over that. cute tank.

You may not know it yet, but this is what you want. It may seem like a lot, but it will give you years of troublefree service and allow you to keep more types of livestock, and keep them healthier than other lights:

These come with a $90 Aqualine Buschke (10,000) bulb which burns at 13,000K which looks great with no actinic supplimentation. The hood is only a foot wide and 7 inches deep. My brother has thins on a 10-gallon Via-Aqua and it absolutely blows away my 10 gallon's 175watt 10,000K pendant.

Cool, another 16" square reef. Mine is actually a cube, but surprisingly most cubes are either 12 or 18". Nice to see others who throw conventional sizes out in favor of unique.

 

Good luck.
