I am having to close down my 5x4, But i have spend so much time collecting nice frags and growing them out, i couldn't not have a tank at all, so i am building this nano-ish tank.

It will be a SPS dominant tank, with my cat, some zoas and shrooms and a red rose nem.

Tank - 900x500x350 opticlear. rimless with an external overflow

stand- 1500x600x1000, 50x50 ally frame, welded, clad in a combination of white 2pac doors and a nice tazzy oak top and side.

Filtration- I am going to keep this very simple. skimmer-filter socks-waterchanges, and maybe down the track some sort of reactor.

Sump is a Royal exclusive 750mm dream box, im pumped for this!

skimmer- Mini bubbleking 160

Return - RE red dragon 50w

Flow- I am hoping for two MP10 but the glass may be too thick

lighting- I am going to run my two 150W giesmann halide pendants and a Kessil360w This hopefully will throw some nice light

Dosing is just randies,

I can lift this bad boy with one hand!

It is now off with the cabinet maker getting the cladding :)
