CalmSeasQuest Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 Thanks everyone and sorry for the lack of updates. Business demands have severely limited my tank time for the past 6 months.I'm pleased to share that this build did win the 2012 Nano Tank contest. The prize was an Orphek DIF50 LED pendant which is still sitting in the box waiting for a suitable project tank.I really enjoyed that build and learned a lot in the process. The use of acrylic proved challenging from a maintenance perspective as it was a chore to keep it clear of any algae - especially the acrylic rod that was exposed to lots of flow. In the end, I grew tired of the overall design, favoring a more natural looking reef. Perhaps the greatest part of that build was the skimmer, which continues to perform wonderfully today. I just broke the tank down to start the 2013 version - I'm starting with a clean (black) slate... This is my first build using a black substrate, looking forward to seeing how colors pop. I do notice the tank looks dimmer with less light reflecting off the bottom which is fine as I'll be able to run the ReefBrites a bit more (they look great with the black bottom.) Dosed a bit of ammonia and MB-7. That coupled with the MarinePure bio spheres recycled from the last build should make for a short (if any) cycle. 1 Quote Link to comment

RabMoghal Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Hello, I just came upon this post and I am blown away. Simply stunning. Do you still have this tank running? Have you done an update post? Quote Link to comment
Aquacrazed Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Great setup! Wondering if you have an update? Does the glare from the light and the lights hitting the water surface bother you? Quote Link to comment
