Here's a pic of my nano setup with DIY refugium and skimmer in a hang-on filter.

165watts PL illuminated the light loving corals and clams.

how do u get 165w pl illumination ? total u have how many tude of pl ?

[danano]

Truly Awesome...

Vincent, Hand ich-ing huh...

[slcw]

good grief...that will make everyone envy u

U should place a clause there:

Research knowledge and Experienced care required with rigourous maintenance.

I afraid newbies tthink it is affordable and easy to have...just cut n paste.

If they do not invest like the lighting u have or the maintenance schedule u adhere how can they possible achieve that.

My EDO in company is almost like that. has everything except lights (proper).

How to achieve half of yours (plus the tank is 30 gallons)

Hope she does not come to hear about this...oopppps

Dan... Tot the water outlet of the power filter will cause the water to splash and make a lot of micro bubbles in the water... How you managed to solve that prob or you dun have that problem...

Didn't have that problem. The overflow was level with water in the tank, hence no splashing and micro bubbles.
