Its about time I posted some pictures of my 34g Solana AIO. It started as a bare bottom SPS system but quickly changed to a standard mixed reef with sand.

Specs:

  • 20" cube AIO
  • DIY LED light (8RB, 4CB, 6NW, 4TV, 2 Ultra Violet, 2 cyan, 2 red) on stevesLED drivers
  • typhoon LED controller in custom box from sammy113 (AWESOME)
  • 2 x Koralia nano 420's
  • 1 x modded Tunze nanostream 6025
  • Tunze 9002
  • 300gph return
  • ~25lbs Tropic Eden ReefFlakes
  • ~30lbs pukani live rock


This is my attempt at a Bonsai style aquascape using fiberglass rods and JB WaterWeld.

Holy cow that is some good looking livestock. Love the other setups in the OP too, especially 12long. What kind of horrible landlord do you have that doesn't let you mount into wall studs?!

Thanks guys! Im finally happy with how its looking. And an added Apex is keeping me calm when going on trips, LOVE IT!

 

No drilling into the studs here in a Condo in downtown Boston were renting..

That's crazy! I've never lived in a rental that cared about drilling into walls/ceilings. Nice looking place though :)

 

Is that a long-tentacle fungia on the sandbed in some of those pictures?

Dude. I loved your 12l. Definitely one of the reasons I picked this tank. I have no clue where I saw the build though. But I followed it.
