I just purchased a Solana 34g Nano and was wondering if anyone has done any modifications or upgrades to this Nano.
What can I do to improve this or should I leave it as is?

I have this tank and haven't set it up yet.

I've been thinking about it and I probably will run a pvc overflow out of chamber 2 to a sump/fuge and return to chamber 3. I've been thinking about the built in ATO bottles and wonder if they'll work right or be enough. I may do a pump fed ATO instead if I don't like it after a couple of months.

The changes you will probably want to make are really easy. I would meshmod a MJ1200 and use this on the protein skimmer. You could also use a tunze protein skimmer and this will fit into chamber two. This allows chamber one to be used as a fuge! keeps everything internal. Love the tank so far

I just bought the Solana, plan to set it up this weekend. JMP, what do you meen by meshmod. Is the stock skimmer not effective.

what Tunze skimmer fits in the back? And what is wrong with the stock skimmer? Does it just need a new pump or something?
