Thank you for the compliment and you as well uchiha. The tank is plumbed into an Eheim 2222 under the desk. I have moded the filter with submersible lights and filled the media baskets with live rock and chaetomorpha(lit 24/7). The cannister provides all of my filtration, water movement, and temp (constant 80 degrees). The return for the filter is visible in the picture of the front. The inlet for the filter is hidden under the sand - everything is sitting on a homemeade undergravel filter. I am estimating approx 40X turnover with good random turbulance.

I guess I typed my response too slow and you missed it ;)

I think I've got circulation pretty well covered.

Very cool product though! I will need to find a project to use them in now. Thanks.

Thanks man! Yup I finally finished and set it up at work. It's been neat seeing the parade of people coming by to check out the tank.

Nice work.

Very nice!

Thanks! That was my goal. I was really attracted to the equipment-free tanks I saw in the nano edition of coral magazine but I wasn't really impressed with what I belived was sub-standard filtration and water movement. I have been so pleased with the benefits of a chaeto fuge in my big tank that my main priority was to do it in a small tank like this.

Haha, now that would be a cool trick. A 2gallon mandarin nano with say a 100gal sump... hmm...
