This is without a doubt my favorite nano. Beautiful photography and a pleasing spacial arrangement. If only the vortech was invisible.

Hype, Don't know if you remember, but I posted that the Mrs was skeptical of a new build until I showed her pics of your tank? Once she saw your pics she was on board with my ideas. Got the build done, still have to tweak the aquascape, and I'll never take as good pics as you, but here it is.

24X24X12

rehype · 11/24/2011, 07:52 PM

Wow thats a beauty Agu!Those are some huge colonies.How do you like the Leds so far?

pompeyjohn · 11/24/2011, 08:37 PM

Two stunning shallow tanks.

rehype · 11/24/2011, 08:55 PM

Thank you sir

Agu · 11/25/2011, 05:45 PM

I'm using two Marineland reef capable LEDs and a generic actinic LED. The actinic is so generic there wasn't even a brand name on the box. I only had the one Marineland when that pic was taken.

The Marineland Reef capable LEDs don't get a lot of love on RC but they're right for my purposes. I have LPS with one clam and everything is thriving. My only objection is that for shallow tanks the optics are too narrow. Mounted on the rim of your tank they'd look like mini spotlights

.

Just built a partial open hood for the tank that allows me to raise the lights 3-4 inches. In fact the paint just finished curing and I'll be installing it tonight.

Most of the colonies came out of this ten gallon tank that was up about 8 years. Part of the impetus for the build was I was tired of chopping up my corals every six months.

But to once again give you credit, once the Mrs saw your tank pics she understood what I wanted to do and why an off the shelf tank wouldn't work.

rehype · 11/26/2011, 01:02 AM

Wow thats really commendable to maintain a stable system for so long...kudos. The growth is just insane...

Im glad i could be of help in getting your shallow build accomplished it really looks great.

FTS

didz04 · 12/23/2011, 03:27 PM

Truly amazing and them LEDs really bring out an awesome look. You have some really nice ideas a real inspiration.

I'm setting up my 24" * 16" * 13" shallow tank I feel like I should have made it a little more of a cube shape.

Do you have an open top or have you covered it with a netting?
