How time flies...have been in saltwater hobby for almost 10 years .. finally came to a difficult decision that I have decommissioned my entire 3ft tank due to my tight working schedule...... sigh !!! Sigh after another Sigh...my nano System 45's lousy Chi-na made cabinet started to warp after a year and the cost of the new cabinet seemed too high to justify based on the various cabinet quotations received which may lead to another decom. After discussing with my wife, I have decided to DIY a simple IOS nano tank to continue to upkeep my hobby since I am still very passionate in marine and also a DIY fanatics in person. With her support and family understanding, my blood starts to boil and the brain juice rejuvenated again..... ! The next million dollar question will be : what type of tank and material to use to construct a simple nano tank and how to create one that is very original and unique to my personal taste? I have seen so many nano tanks in the web but none of them caught my eyes till I saw bro gargamelron's thread " PROJECT RED CLIFF" in the SRC Members Tank & Specs which ready aroused my great interest. Although there are a few negative remarks on cliff down/drop down tank which are related to leaking issues but I still go ahead to DIY using acrylic sheet because I believed that as long as there's a well planning and preparation with overkill material used, leaking problem should be easily overcome...not to mention mine is just a nano tank only. From initial plan to materials purchased and hands-on implementation, it took me almost 1-2 months to materialize the building of the nano tank and finally completed it on 27th July 2013 . While waiting for some of the equipment's arrival from oversea, please feel free to have a peek at my nano tank's DIY track at : Equipment and stuff : Display Tank - Acrylic Nano Drop Off Tank - IOS (~56L) 1st shallow is L40xW36xH22cm(10cm IOS) and drop off is L22xW36xH42cm Return Pump - Eheim Compact 1000 Protein Skimmer - Resun SK300 (China Made) Aquarium Chiller - Nano Thermoelectric Aquarium Chiller, 200W (China Made) Wave Maker - Sobo WP-50M (3W, 3000L/H, China Made) Bio Media - Polyplab Bio Sphere (not sure yet) Background - Aquarium Artificial 3D backdrop (China Made) Live Sand - Natures Ocean Live Aragonite Black Sand or CaribSea Instant Aquarium Tahitian Moon Reef & Marine Substrate.

I have been using GP232 for more than 1.5 years without any problem till I recently sold it off due to decom . IMHO, this is really a good, super silence, low watt and strong flow pump compare to other branded pump that I used before .

iirc the highest version in the market is 200W (60L). May you can try upgrade the Thermoelectric Cooler Peltier to 360W ( Tec1-12730 ) and the power supply which I believe it can increase the cool capacity to cool down 100L tank lor.

FTS is at the post #28. Not setup yet so just plain tank display only.

Thanks for your compliment... ! First shallow is L40xW36xH22cm (~31L) and the drop off is L22xW36xH42 (~32L) but minus off 7~8L off due to the water level is below 2~3cm down from the tank height so the estimated water vaolume is about 56~57L nia !

Basically he need to do more research before jumping into this hobby.. !

yaya....must get one DYS DMT-10 then sell him my refractometer......hahaha!

Total volume is about 56L.

You can get it from sponsor, Gemsurf.

Best bet is gather a few reefers to share the shipping cost may save you some cost .
