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.

Oh, you're still doing the SPS thing. Normally for SPS you pretty much fill the top of your tank with T5 reflectors. Not sure how this would apply to a nano though, might need some barbecue sauce to go with it. I'm thinking maybe 4 tubes wired on 2 circuits. 2 tubes on for a 12 hour photo-period, and all 4 on for as long as your corals can handle it. On my 72G I had 6 54W tubes on for 12 hours, and it worked well for SPS. You should check out some nano forums before you do anything.
