Shallow 8 gallon nano build

[pilot108]

Started a new build for my counter top.
Tank is from advanced acrylics 16"x16"x8"

 

[pilot108]

I wanted the tank to be raised up so I built a small stand

 

[pilot108]

Here it is with the rock work added going for the shallow volcano look

 

[pilot108]

With water in it
Still need to hook up tunze nano ato and order a light

That little stand is cute. I use a sanrise LT gen 3 on my 9 gallon, so far so good.

I made a media basket out of egg crate with the top having a 2" thick pc of foam and the bottom has ruble rock I'll try to post a pic of it this evening when I get home from work

Cool little tank! Would be kinda cool to see water flowing out from the top of the "volcano"

Here is the filter I just zip tied the egg crate together to make a place for foam and ruble rock

I did think about that but wasn't sure of a good way to do it and I'm trying to keep the amount of equipment to a minimum so it looks nice and organized

Would probably have to drill that rock out and run some kind of tube or pipe up it and maybe hide a small pump inside the rock. But I'm with ya on the minimal equipment.
