A hole will be next to it blowing the fans air through the heatsink then vents through the top. Pocket for LED's and Fan. Small size Off to get anodized. -Dave Link to comment

DaveFason Posted September 6, 2010 Author Share Posted September 6, 2010 Sorry I have not updated the thread in some time. I will have the PAR tests after this weekend and will have some other cool stuff on the way. I will be putting two Nano Box Uni-bodies over this tank along with the Ryujin controller driving it. I have new LED's that have created an amazing look over the corals. I've had the tank set up for a year and a half now and through the ups and downs I think I have my tank right where I want it. I will be adding Tyree 20K Lokinia, Carls Candlelight, Pink Lemonade, Strawberry table acro, Meteor shower to the tank after I remove the cap on the right. The cap is now 8-9" across and 4-5" deep. The growth has been insane the past few weeks with stable parameters, frequent feedings and killer skimming. I will be adding a MP10 to the right side and using it as a "wavemaker" too. Today I am adding 4 large Berghia nudi's to take out my aptasia. I'm really looking forward to see what these little guys can do. With Nano-Reef forums getting so large I wanted to give a few tips for some of the new guys on there tanks. When I was first starting people like SunnyX, ianwane and a few others on RC helped me so much that I feel like I should spread the love. Dont over react! I feel that to many people freak out over small things. If a coral is looking bad or your temp is up .5 of a degree, dont over react! Let nature do it's thing, I swear it has worked 99% of the time for me. Buy quality equipment. It will really go a long way in this hobby. From Tunze to Ecotech to LED fixtures to ATB HOB skimmers, there is something for every nano tank. Simplicity. Keep the tank free of 1000 wires, this gizmo for that and my new $1000+ coral needs 500 watts of light. Light, flow, skimming and stability and your tank will look great. Dont get wrapped into trends. I have to admit some of those corals do look amazing ( I have bought some too ) but give it some time and I promise you they will come down in price. Keep it local. See what people around you have. There are some great people in this hobby that really would like to help new guys out. You will find the best deals locally and supporting your LFS can only help to the reefing community. Here are some pictures I was able to snap today. Hope you enjoy! -Dave Link to comment
