    Default Working on my nano reef tank (all DIY- Pics too)

    The tank measures 12x12x12 - 1/4". It took about an 1 hr to put together. Took 7 days to cure and has been water test 3 days no leaks. I hand drilled (5-6 minutes)a small hole near the base to hid the plumbing (which will be covered with sand and live rock. One step at a time. lots of pictures enjoy.

    You've got some serious plumbing for a Nano. What are you going to do with it, surf fish?

    Really though, it looks great.

    looks good. what happens when the pump shuts off and your water starts to run back to the filter. of course i haven't seen the finish system so i'm sure you have all that worked out.
