Thinking about starting a nano. Anyone use this tank?

The tank will be in an office on my desk. Temps are controlled during the week, but the building turns off the AC on the weekends to save bills. I plan on using one of the micro chillers to make sure that I can keep the temps stable. Other than that, has anyone seen/used this particular tank setup? I've seen the 12g hex w/ everything built in, but this seems to have better specs (w/g, better skimmer, etc). I will be removing the w/d part of the tank, and putting in a macro refugium, but other than that, does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

PS Here is a link to my current tank.

hey brobak-

there's a LFS up here on the tundra that sells those puppies as nanos. they usually have one setup in store too and it looks pretty decent. i think some of the components are made by jalli-light for example. the LFS is a lil ignorant and continues to run the wet/dry but that doesn't make em bad people i guess. my only concern is the acrylic, glass being far better IMO, but you seemed to handle your own with that 75 and don't know why you wouldn't succeed here as well! HTH

Does anyone see any possible shortcomings of this setup? Anything you wish was different? Anything I should look at improving if I decide to use use this particular setup? Thanks for letting me pick your brains :)

increased lighting wattage/output (for all but low light corals), additional in-tank circulation, and i still don't like acrylic-plus the tank is too shallow IMO (front to back).
