Pretty cool. I actually just picked one of these up the other day after receiving a matted filefish (captive bred) that is too small for my tank. It kept going through the overflow and down in the sump. I was worried about my skimmer and return pumps so have it in a breeder box until I got this. Threw a few rocks from the tank and water after a water change and it is up and running although I'm using the default light it came with later.

These tanks are nice little desktop / nano for 50 bucks. DIY LED or something like you have will make it a great desktop nano.

Thanks for sharing. You have it setup looking really nice. Keep up the great job!

Looks great! How do you do water changes at work?

I use a gravel cleaner to syphon from the tank to a 5 gallon Lowes bucket once a week when I change out the filterfloss and purapad.....I keep a 5 gallon container of SW I pour in the tank to refill. I top that container off at the LFS every few weeks. I dump the bucket with the old water out in an area where the grass does not grow by one of our doors here at work.
Super easy!

With rock and sand....guessing I have about 4.5 gallons....a 1 gallon w/c is over 20%. I used flatworm exit 3 times in the past 2 weeks and did 100% water changes after each use.....easy as could be.....corals all seemed super happy too.
