Mr. Mustache Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Looks super clean. When does this thing get wet? I dig the mp placement. Link to comment
VABumpkin Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 Thanks guys! Looks super clean. When does this thing get wet? I dig the mp placement. Hoping to get it wet later this week or next weekend. Waiting on my NB Duo from Dave right now. Should have teasers of it this week before it ships. Link to comment
1.0reef Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Nanobox too? Lucky baftard! Link to comment
VABumpkin Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 Haha I went full out on the light. 22 leds, 7(?) colors w/ individual channels on a storm controller. The whole shebang. Link to comment
NanoTopia Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 DRILL IT ! Looks great VA, I'm subscribing to this build. Link to comment
1.0reef Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Now your just rubbing it in! Link to comment
VABumpkin Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 DRILL IT ! Looks great VA, I'm subscribing to this build. Eventually! Once I get back into the rhythm of this reefing thing (a lot has changed in 3 years ) it's going to be a full out nano monster. Drilled, controller, ATO, etc. Maybe even Zeo! Who knows?

DannaM Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Wow, NICE 'scape!!!! This is going to be an awesome build. Link to comment
Illuiix Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Lol, I see something on the left outside of the tank, what is that? PS. You're going to hate the ugly ac filter hanging over this beauty!! Link to comment
VABumpkin Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 It's the thermometer. I didn't realize it was in the shot until i was processing the image so.... yeah. And I like the look of the filter on the back but I will probably drill it eventually. Or the corals will block it from view. Link to comment
Illuiix Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I like how I caught that thermometer hidden. I see. You don't ever want to go lily pipes? Or Gnome skimmer only? Like Dave from Nanobox's tank? (He's going mp10 and gnome skimmer only). Link to comment
VABumpkin Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 Gnome is dead... Maybe a mame skimmer. I don't like the idea of using a canister filter, an HOB is easier for changing filter media. Link to comment
Illuiix Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 True. Mmmm ok. Btw, gnome skimmer is not dead. Gnome looks more sleek than mame imo. (Mame skimmer is too tall, pops out too much over a tank) Link to comment
lnglostsurfer Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 The more builds I see with ADA tanks they sexier they get. These things are ridiculous! Love the simplicity too, good luck with it! Link to comment

(Mame skimmer is too tall, pops out too much over a tank) Gnome is out of business dude. http://www.nano-reef.com/topic/333099-gnome-glass/#entry4479716 Link to comment
Illuiix Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Ohh man....that sucks...lol. How did I miss that thread....whew, I was going to buy a gnome skimmer a while back. Good thing I didn't lol. Link to comment
brad908 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Nice! I have an ADA 30c and DoAqua 2.5 gallon if you want to go all out and make the 30c into a sump and the 2.5 for ATO. Link to comment
VABumpkin Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 Brad, I think for now the AC50 is perfect for me. If they're available in the distant future I'll contact you. For now I want to keep it simple though. Link to comment
