Super cool. I started a little nano on my desk about four or five months ago. Just have a bunch of acans and Ricordeas in there for now. Really nice to have, good luck!

Tank is full. Can't wait to get it cycled and add some fish.

The return pump is really loud. Is it normal for the stock return pump to be so loud?

Here's a quick and dirty one. Most corals only been in there 1-3 months or so and only maybe 1/3 stocked at this point.

Mine was kind of loud too at first but it got quieter after a couple weeks. A rubber mat helps a lot.

The tank came with a mat already glued to the bottom.

Thinking I'm going to upgrade to a mp10. The hydor just looks missive in this 10 gallon tank.

Tank is a month old today. Besides the tank going though the ugly phase(diatoms) it's doing great. I've added a pair of mocha clowns to the tank for now (plan on getting a pair of black storm clowns later and moving the mocha's to my frag tank at home). I also added the spin stream flow nozzle on the return line for more random flow, nice cheap upgrade for random flow.
