The gooseneck is from fragbox. But the PAR38 was originally purchased at Aquariums by Design

I ended up using water from my dt to start the tank. Filled the one chamber in the back with about 2lbs of live rock from my fuge along with two mangroves. I also used a few bio balls in the first chamber to help break the falling water up.

So far I'm really looking forward to seeing this with corals.

I already have over 10 frags planned for it. If the tank looks good by this afternoon. I might add the corals this evening.

They really are a thing if their own. Just as satisfying as a large tank, only in a different way. My 'nano' I will be resetting up is my Nano Cube (in my signature). Just still debating reef, frog fish or seahorse. Plus no room until I pick up some custom stuff at the meets so I can rearrange.

Good luck with it. My 3 gal pico, I did 1 cup water changes daily and 3 cups weekly, just out of my DT. It was work, but awesome.

Ya. I can't wait.

I plan to do wc's out of my dt too. Makes the most sense to me

Eric, In my 8 gl Cube. I increased the circulation by putting a Maxi Jet 600 in the 1st compartment, I drilled a hole in the back panel 4 inches off the bottom then put the outlet of the pump through the hole having the pump sit close to the bottom of compartment 1, I still had room for the heater and it really helped with the water movement. Just an idea.

Thanks for the idea Jim. I'm honestly only doing mushrooms and zoas, so the flow I have now should be plenty.
