 Topic: Ultimate 10 gallon
Posted: August 31 2005 at 10:05pm |
Here are a few pics of my new ultimate 10 gallon nano.
I tried to make a small tank with everything you would expect on a larger one.
Homemade overflow with holes drilled in the bottom 3/4 inch plumping
Lock line on return and durso for the drain.
65w pc with 50/50 bulb
sump underneath custom built to fit like a sleave in the stand.
Via Aqua heater.
reverse day light refugium powered by 13w pc light
skimmer ( still fine tuning) 
And IMO the coolest a kent marine auto top off hooked to my ro/di unit.
Let me know what you think I will try and post some more pics

It looks awsome Bruce, can't wait to see it in person. How much flow do you have going?

i agree, looks great! you think a 65w PC will be enough?
they make the 90w "shortie" 50/50 pc that you could definitely
fit one, and maybe two?!?
how much flow are you pumping and how many gallons in the sump?
i always wonder what the point of a nano is if you have to run a sump of the same size!

Nice! It looks alot different than the last time I saw it. Makes me want to do another nano drilled with a sump. I'd like to come over to see it maybe next week if you have the time. Bob

Sorry for lack of update. I will try and get some specs up. I had a leak and thought I was going to have to tear it down. Well I used an old top off valve ( kent style) and found that the treads had started to come apart and drip ro water at a rate that was hard to find. No more leaks. No deaths yet!

Different tank same occupants. Am I right that this is the same clownfishes, same anemone, LR, etc that you have had for a couple years in a 10 gal in your kitchen?

Mark Yes this is the same except I changed out one piece of rock. So the tank is very established over 3 years.
I took a few new pics.
I also have been having really good luck with my sea fan in this tank. Not sure why. I still havent got the skimmer up and going. The tank is just awsome though. I had a leak when I first got started but now no problems at all.
Also just upgraded from one 65wpc to a dual 65w fixture.
