thanks. from what I've read on nano-reef, the water will just sort of follow the false wall down to the "sump" in the back of the tank, so shouldn't be too much water noise. Also, with the water level I'll be keeping in the back there shouldn't be too much fall anyways.

Apparently last night my brain decided sleep was for the weak and I havn't gone to bed yet...awake for nearly 22hours as it stands right now so I'm not so sure using power tools would be a good idea, so no stand building etc today...

Found an old aquaclear 20 powerhead in my bin o fish junk. Giving it a good vinegar soak right now (cleaning the Koralia's from the 90, might as well do this one too).

With the added 120gph of flow I'll be looking at 49X turnover... huzah!

Also, my fish are in at Red Coral. I'll be picking them up sometime this week and they'll be in QT until it's time to add them to the nano.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND Snappy has given me a suggestion list of what to put in the tank...so it's moving along quite nicely!

Made the stand, it didn't turn out even remotely close to how I wanted it, but I'm pretty damn proud of how it turned out considering it was built by.....my dad. LOL

Also, have pretty much figured all the corals that will be going in here. Rics, Zoas, and SPS. 12 days till water...another 7-10 (hopefully) till I can add the livestock.
