I started this build two weeks ago after finding out that I could take a small aquarium with me to training starting in Jan. What made me decide to make the call and ask were the memories of tinkering with my old 65g. So I went and got all the supplies and now the little tank is working perfectly. The water used was from the old 65 gallon that was left in buckets.

Near Future plans for this nano build:

Change tank to a custom rimless nano for aesthetics purposes. I am thinking of doing a closed looped design using a Hydor SELTZ L40 Pump and a Hydor ETH 200 connected inline.

The tank will be these specifications:

-22x12x12
-Black background
-Rimless
-3 Sided Starphire Glass
-Black Silicone

Sample Rendering of the custom tank:

Thanks. The red and green ones are date nights. I am not sure what the yellow and green are. TBH, I cant remember where I purchased the anemone. I had purchased it about about 3 months ago and it reappeared last month when I was selling everything out the 65 gallon, so I just kept it.

Sony Nex-5n using the stock lens and 49mm Macro Close-Up +1 & +2 Lens Filters

The filter lenses are dirt cheap. Here is how they look:

Looks really nice! Any shots of the tank itself so I can see it de-rimmed?

No recent FTS yet. I have changed to black sand and I am rearranging the scape. The tank de-rimmed then painted black before and after:
