Not really much of a build since it comes with sump, stand, and tank, but still this is my first "nano" so I'm pretty excited. I've never been one who does those nice plumbing jobs, but this came with a bunch of pvc parts so I couldn't resist, and I admit I am rather pleased with the outcome. The Fluval 2.5 in the picture has a juvenile clown that was getting beaten up, and he is the primary reason for the upgrade as I knew he couldn't stay in the 2.5 forever. Plan is to use the Hydra 26 shown below, a Tunze Silence on a 7092 controller for wave motion, a Tunze 8821 waterproof refugium strip, ChemipureBlue, and bio-plates. I've been using ChemipureBlue in the pico and am really, really impressed. The remaining question is whether to fill this thing "chock-a-block" and aim for a color forest or go minimalist with 3 or 4 corals.
