After my luck with the mavebox, maybe a nanobox would be a good idea, that tank is wide open rockwise, would probably work perfectly, and they're fairly small too.

Even the nano one eh?  Too bad, I really was an instant fan when that thing fired up for the first time.  If I hadn't have gotten it, I would have been mp-40 bound for sure (they still are kickass powerheads!).

i have to admit....im so tempted to modify a couple words in that sentence :p

I have to concur, I think a lot of people run the nano box on tanks smaller than yours.  'nano'.  ;D

I lost everything except for some GSP. 6 fish made it too.

Atleast you can see into the tank now :)

BTW that sand dune is tanks to that Tunze 6095.  the reflected flow from that thing stirs up EVERYTHING!

I ignored the tank for 6 months besides ATO top offs. The fish i lost was becuase my auto feeder ran outta food and i didnt check it ever.

Bubble algae took over EVERYTHING. I should have taken a pic - it was a mess.

I scrubbed everything and threw out some badly infested rocks.

This future reefer is responsible for me ignoring the tank:)
