Trying to make this a simple tank. Mainly going to put chalice frags in the tank to increase grow out from my main system. The light is a full-sized AI SOL Blue (just turned down power wise). I had a nano and it was great but I sold it prior to this tank (I also could buy the large unit for less than I sold the nano for). I also plan on cutting the rails shorter just have not gotten to it yet. As far as rock work goes I just used a single piece of aquaroche rock. This gives me shelves to place the chalices on for grow out and I think doesn't over crowd the tank. The skimmer has been replaced with a Tunze with a custom collection cup. Here is some pics when it got filled:

Well the tank has cleared up, and I took the full sized AI SOL off and replaced it with a SOL Nano. I now have 3 plates, 2 acans, various zoos, and a clam in the tank. All seem happy. Here are some new iPhone pics:
