Seal up at tank shine a bright light on it you'll have a greenhouse effect. Also your tank still needs the exchange of air.
No sure what you're planning for ATO but here's a simple gravity type. If you are forced to go small, should skip the SPS (and the expensive lights). There's lots of really nice nanos out there with easier stocking and demands. Something as simple as a piece of LR, a mushroom and a shrimp can gorgeous if done properly, think bonsai.

Ha, yea I had found a good DIY designs for an ATO similar to that one, but tks. Simple gravity type ATO's when done right are some of the easiest ones going.
Has anyone tried LED lighting for SPS corals? Hmm, ok nvm the closed system idea.

LED lighting is probably good enough, but VERY expensive!

2 T5 tubes the same length as the width of your tank would work great. Think about at least putting a HOB refugium on if you're not using a sump.

Yea, I have a nice aquaclear which I can use for a refugium, as I see the usefulness of them, although I seem to have lost my nice clear aquaclear lid, not that its important lol.
T5 bulbs with any particular rating other then, at least having 10 000 kelvin? I should rename this thread, custom 10 gallon SPS tank.

50/50 Aquablue/Blueplus is my favorite look, but it's all personal taste.
