Here it is now that it's cleaned up.
Hopefully over the next few month it will be going to full sps and a Duncan for my wife

Ok so I'm wanting to turn this into an sps mainly acro tank. Any advise on water movement would be greatly appreciated, in my tanks I've always had mostly LPS and softies. For my larger tanks I already know which way I'm going to go as far as water movement but on my nano I'm having a hard time choosing a good fit

Impossible to wake up on the wrong side of the bed when this is your nightstand.

I have one but haven't updated in awhile.
Equipment
Kessil 360 we light
Return jebao wp something
Jebao RW-4 power head
75w neo therm heater
JBJ ato with avast pump

I don't run the glass lid at all on mine. Since I have wood floors I actually use the stand. I just push it around for when I need to add top off water that's inside the stand from the rear.

The stock skimmer is actually really good too. If you run an ato, the toms a qualifier won't work. I had to buy an avast diaphragm pump for it and it works wonders.

It's coming along debating if I'm going to rework the rock work or not still love this tank. Poor thing has been the heck and back with my kids. Hole packs of wet wipes, Wrigley's spearmint gum I promise this will kill some stuff and I caught it within seconds of going in the tank, and countless toys. But I will keep this one up and running.
