well i put my 90 gallon project tank on hold to build my gf a nano and decided rather then a biocube then have to spend 150$ in mods id just build one from scratch with spare parts i had laying around and extra's. 10 gallon with an internal 10 + inch over flow with internal mini sump i guess. here are some glued together pics and some test running pics. gonna swap out this water tomorow maybe and add some salt water and gravel to get it going.

Looks cool Buddy but watch out for the evaporation rate in the small return section.
I did one like this and it goes down really fast.

Thats really cool looking. Are you going to have anything in the overflow section besides the carbon or is it just to break the surface tension?

Beware... I set up a nano for my girlfriend a while back to help teach her how to run my tank when I'm out of town... Guess who does all of the work to keep it running? You bet: ME! lol
