Default Awesome Nano

Saw this Nano on another board and it looked very impressive for a 10 gallon reef. I thought it was at least 25 gallons at first. Unbelievable growth and colors. View all 4 pages of the thread to see all the incredible animals in the tank. Tank is lit by just PC lights.

That is one impressive setup. It makes my ten gallon nano look puny. The only thing I don't understand is how he gets all those lights above such a small tank.

I am now thinking of putting my 12" CPR refugium back into use, and putting the sandbed in there to get more room in the main tank.

If you read further he uses a 100Gph powerhead to pump UP to refugium and then it overflows back to tank

Cheers

I did read that after I made the post. I then took that question out of the post. I am now moved to do more with my nano.

Bob, gives you something to strive for doesn't it? But you'll have to add a protein skimmer though to get something like that I would imagine.

It looks like from the picture that he has an oversized canopy to accomodate 2x55W bulbs. It looks like a 24" canopy similar to this:

He might have the JBJ brand though.

Then from the picture he adds another 55W canopy across the top front of the tank. Not pretty but effective I'd say.
