HOB Refugium for NANO Anyone using them?

I've got the same setup on my 10 gallon reef. Works great. I had one of the store bought fuges, but it was too large for a 10 gallon tank. =)

Bought the AC110 used off Craigslist for cheap, so didn't feel any guilt about modding it. I'm just using a 13w spiral daylight from home depot. Chaeto gets trimmed weekly.

+1 for that. I had the 6700K on my DIY biocube fuge, the chaeto grew like stink on a monkey.

You'll have to post a pic when you get it done.
