I'm having an acrylic nano custom built for me.....here's what I have in mind. Any feedback would be appreciated.

I'm thinking about just running a hang-on skilter in the fuge....I want to avoid any plumbing below the tank, and that would give me some extra mechanical filtration and water movement as well.

Looks good Jim.

Although a 45g tank doesn't really count as a nano...Well, I guess if it's sitting beside a 150g one it might look like one. :lol:

45G? I thought it came out to about 30 with the fuge.....I did the calculation on ReefCentral. Maybe I entered the dimensions wrong.

I know what it was....it's 33 Gallons without the fuge.....so I wasn't counting the fuge as part of the tank.......I can kind of call that a nano...can't I? Anyway, I'll be setting up a 12G in my office as well....so that will be a true nano.

Ah...I was doing it by the full dimensions.

24"x36"x12"/231 = 44.88

Honestly I don't care what you call it. You can call it big bird. All I care about is seeing the pics. :)

Hmm....I think I'm going to change the dimensions including the fuge to 3' X 18" X 12"

That will make the actual tank dimensions 3' X 12" X 12" which ends up being 22.4 Gallons. That will fit better in the location I want to put it, and it will also qualify as a real nano... :mrgreen:

You might consider using a larger return pump and a T to get two return holes. It'd be less likely you'd end up wanting to put a PH in there later.
