My stocking vision looks as follows:

Fish/Inverts:
2 Picasso Clowns or 2 Purple firefish (undecided)
Shrimp/Goby pair
2 Sexy shrimp
Emerald Crab
White Porcelain crab
Some tiny little hermits
5 astrea snails

Corals:
Mainly LPS and softies, but when the good LED's come in, I will try some SPS:

Pink/Purple Birdsnest SPS
Couple colors of Monti's SPS

Hammer coral
Torch Coral
Mushrooms
Florida Ric garden
Zoa Garden

One or two small clams as well.

wow, should become a very nice nano

Of course the water volume will allow you to do more...hmmm now you have me thinking of adding a sump to my 10 gallon, damn you! haha

Haha, yeah I wanted a nice fully stocked nano with very little equipment visable in the main display, so sump was the only option. I have also always wanted a Fluval Edge because of their unique design. Just never felt like forking out the money to get one, so now that I picked one up for free, i'll spend the time and money on it.

tagging along too. Awesome setup.. You just made up my mind on what to build.. Very interested in how the water will overflow out of the tank.... Can't wait new pics ..

I'm likin' this build too.
If you get tired of the velcro, you could use counter sunk magnets

In this pic during the water test, you can actually see the water flowing nicely through the overflow. The only thing this is missing is my egg crate rack for filter floss.

Yeah I really wanted to use those, but I couldn't find any where I looked, and I am fairly unsure of how to make them stick in the counter sunk holes (glue?) So some advice on this would be awesome... I already hate the velcro!
