I made the diy overflow from pvc. And for lighting i got 165 watt.led mars aqua light with great growth on all coral.so far it,s been a good light for the price.

I keep mine at around 14 inches really just depends how strong the lights are I have a pretty much the same fixture as you over my frag tank (aquamana 165) blues 100% for ten hours and whites 25% for 3 hours your tank will tell you if its too much or too little

Awesome tank;), some good fish would be fire fish,clown fish,wrasses, cardinal fish,and probably some other that I'm forgetting.

Check out liveaquaria's nano fish section some great choices for a ten. I'd go inverts :) some crazy cool rare inverts and maybe a small goby :)

Auto topoff should be in return section of sump. If I'm looking at it right, you have it in first chamber where drain is?

 

[Esequiel castaneda]
