Well im currently running a 90g corner that is just about out of room. So i got the itch to set up another tank. Found a local guy selling a 12g with stand for only 50 bucks how could i pass this up! Ive decided to keep it pretty simple and do a pair of clowns for my live stock. Just so happend the same guy had a pair of rare snowflakes he offered to sell me for 100 bucks. Once again how could i pass this up.. I just got the tank up and running and did my rock scape. I purchased the clowns already and have them hanging out in my sump to my 90 till this tank is ready. I plan on picking up my gen 2 zetlight (fully dimmable with remote) here in a few days. I wanna get a handful of single polys to glue around my rock work and purchase a single rbta to place in the tank for the clowns. As far as equipment i plan on mounting a phosban 150 on the back and custom drill some holes threw the hood to run tubing. I plan to run my gfo in this in addition it will add some more water volume to the tank. Also looking into the hydor nano skimmer if it will fit. Im gonna pull water from my main tank on a water change this evening and use that to refill my nano. Hopefully it will be ready to go within a few days (already has live rock and sand) Ill keep updating with some pics when i make more progress. I wanna fit as much stuff equipment wise as i can on this sucker. Im looking into building a led light to mount in back of hood over the chambers so i can grow cheato as well. If anyone has any other ideas or input feel free to give your input! Thanks

Nice! I have the same tank. Fwiw, I don't have a skimmer. I just do water changes to keep things stable. I looked into getting a skimmer and was told here that a lot of nano skimmers don't work that well. Just my 0.02.
