pomby27 Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 side view looks better.hahaa just my opinion Link to comment
robram27 Posted November 30, 2004 Author Share Posted November 30, 2004 Ya, i kinda planned it that way, the tank is in a strange position at my desk. The viewing occurs mainly on the right-side and front. So I try to put a little something on the sides for the kids to see it better than standing in front at my desk. Thanks for the kind words.

artouse Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 I have a Nano DX. What exact mods did you do to your tank. Thanks! Link to comment
robram27 Posted December 3, 2004 Author Share Posted December 3, 2004 Well most of the mods I did have been done in the new DX. New 32W light in addition to the 24W, moon lights (three blue LEDs) Slits for the surface water so it acts like a skimmer. Drilled a small hole in the original pump outlet so that a small amount of water will shoot upward at about 45 degrees and make a small wake on the surface. I also added a minijet 606 with another pump outlet drilled into the back wall which is about half way down from the tod and just off center horozontally. ( you can see it in the side view picture I took) This pump and the original pump are hooked up to the "natural wave" power strip. It makes for some very stimulating and random water movement for my corals. I also added 2 variable fans for the heat, (Which DX has done) and a 50 watt heater will be adding a "ice probe" hopefully after christmas, summer was pretty harsh here in texas and temps just above 80 make for some killer green alge to clean everyday. I was having some problems whit fish getting ick and such so I bought an angstrom 4W UV filter and made mods for it to fit (nothing a Dremel cannot handle). I think that is about it as far a custom work. I would have loved to DX a year ago so I would not have had to do so much work. I tell myself "Next time I get a cheap ass tank and start form there!!!!" Link to comment
