Looks great I love nano cubes, I think a small pendant hanging from the ceiling would finish the tank off nicely.

I like the idea of the filstar. It's like a sump, but closed I might consider it for a little 2.5 gallon pico tank I've been thinking contemplating. Could double it's water volume, potentially.

Is that your final decision on lighting, or are you going to get those coralife crappylight minis? I bought two for a nano I used to run, and they were utterly disheartening. They couldn't reach any further than 8" without losing most of their PAR.

The light you have on it now seems pretty good. And it hanging off the sides isn't too bad, considering a MH setup would have WAY more overshooting of light than what you have now.

nice desk, i have the exact same one, i took the top peice off tho, so i could fit my dual 21" monitors, and was planning on putting a small tank to the right side of the desk, but i dont think the desk can support that much weight, and I was pretty worried about having that much saltwater 2 close to my computer,

but nice set up, should be really nice in a few months once u get some nice growth
