I would have, but I ordered a custom light from NanoBox and the build took longer than I expected. Light should be super sexy though!

Hopefully going with live rock will help the cycle...

I should have some good tank updates this weekend! My NanoBox Quad will be arriving on Wednesday!

I bent some conduit pipe to hang the light from. It'll be painted black:

My aquacultured live rock from KP Aquatics arrives on Thursday!

Great looking tank and LOVE the diy light rack. Looking forward to following your progress...

Tank officially got wet last night! This past week my NanoBox lights arrived (Quad for this tank, Mini for my Nuvo8) as did my live rock from KP Aquatics.

Here are my two tanks, which live side-by-side now. Can't wait for the cycle to complete! (I'll be raiding some livestock from the Nuvo8)
