Introduction
I've always wanted an ADA-style tank, whether it be planted or a nano-reef. A few months into owning the edge, I got fed up with the small opening of the Fluval Edge, so I decided to take matters into my own hands and de-rimmed it to look like a rimless tank.
After seeing the clean-look of the lily pipes, in combination with a very simplistic aquascape, on a few nano reefs, I found my inspiration. I knew I had to set up a small rimless ADA-style nano tank with minimal rock work and lots of corals to keep me company for the next four years of school.
