This is my entry into the nano contest #2

Its a 20 Gallon Hagen tank with a DIY overflow section in 1 end leaving approx 15 gallons for the display.

Did you do the acrylic yourself? Can't wait to see more.

I think I like the way the overflow worked out, its pretty basic but it should serve its purpose. I added a secondary overflow in the back to create 2 seperate chambers, 1 side will house some rubble and the heater and the other side has the return pump. This is going to be a skimmer less tank so I need to figure out some sort of filtration(although I think I will have a low fish count) to help remove particles floating in the water. Did a leak test and am happy to say no water leaked from 1 chamber to the next...woohoo!!

My return pump is very simple, a MaxiJet 900.
I built a return with parts from my work, 1/2" wirsbo and some 90's.

Then I cut a piece to cover the rear section(to avoid algae growth).
