Dasani Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 Nice and you have the desk. I wish I had time for a true Nano. Really looking forward to seeing this build, I will be following along. Haha yeah I never use the desk so I thought it would be the perfect place for a small tank. I'm gonna try to make it looks as clean as possible. It will be a slow build though Link to comment

Dasani Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 Glad to see you back in the water. Tank plans sound pretty sweet to me, can't wait to see it all come together. It's looking pretty sweet in my head haha. I'm going to go with a more minimal scape and start off with smaller corals and just let them fill in Link to comment
Dasani Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 Just ordered my glass! It's was only $18! I'm going to pick it up Monday. I also got some silicone. Link to comment
Dasani Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 Just finished working on my light. I decided I'm going to hang it by chain from the top of the desk. I took some pieces off my old canopy and got that ready to go for next week. I drilled holes into my heatsink to hook it up to the chain. I also took a little plastic drawer and drilled some holes into it to put my pot knobs through. It makes a nice little project box for my drivers. Link to comment
Dasani Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 Got the glass in yesterday and put the tank together tonight! I'm gonna leak test it tomorrow then I'll post some pics Link to comment

colormyheart Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 What are your stocking plans? Link to comment
Dasani Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 What are your stocking plans? I haven't really though a lot about it yet. I know I am going to transfer a lot over from my dad's tank. My old monti cap, Cali tort, frogspawn, and acans. I know I want some cool zoas and rics. And eventually a maxima clam. As for fish, a yellow watchman for sure... and maybe a clown of some sort.
