The '06 models have the most frequent mods already done except for the removal of all but one sponge, the ceramic rings, and the bioballs. Some people remove the vinyl that covers the back in the center chamber so they can add a light and make a refugium out of the center chamber, I just added LR rubble in mine.
You can keep polyps, mushrooms, ricordias, most softies, and the lower light demanding LPS corals in the DX with no problem. If you want to have more light you can either get a modded hood or order the parts and DIY from www.nanocustoms.com , Chris can hook you up with everything you need.

NO, the Chris I am referring to has a business in California that deals in modding and selling DIY parts to mod nanos. DJ (DJConn) is the owner of this site.
