Haha, yeah I wanted a nice fully stocked nano with very little equipment visable in the main display, so sump was the only option. I have also always wanted a Fluval Edge because of their unique design. Just never felt like forking out the money to get one, so now that I picked one up for free, i'll spend the time and money on it.

This is very cool. Tagging along.

tagging along too. Awesome setup.. You just made up my mind on what to build.. Very interested in how the water will overflow out of the tank.... Can't wait new pics ..

I'm likin' this build too.
If you get tired of the velcro, you could use counter sunk magnets

In this pic during the water test, you can actually see the water flowing nicely through the overflow. The only thing this is missing is my egg crate rack for filter floss.

Yeah I really wanted to use those, but I couldn't find any where I looked, and I am fairly unsure of how to make them stick in the counter sunk holes (glue?) So some advice on this would be awesome... I already hate the velcro!

I knew it a seen that a REAL BEER LUCKY OH YA

Hahaha, YUP! Love the good old Lucky lager.

I thought the velcro might be a pain :lol:
Talk to Grizz about where to get them and how he attached his magnets to the doors as I've never done it

Any updates on this bad boy?

Yup! got everything in place and set up. Got some of the rock out of my other tank, but I have to 'downsize' a lot of the rock to be able to fit in the hole at the top. So I have some chizzling to do! But there is some rock in there, a lot of sump rock/rock rubble in there, basically filled the whole sump. Bought a little blue devil damsel who is hilarious... he loves the powerhead. Play's in it all day. Also -

Found a good light color combo
Added Snails and hermits from other tank
Added Koralia Nano Powerhead
Added Fluval heater
Added Tunze Osmolator ATO
Added Blue Devil Damsel
Added floss rack and floss

Still to do:

Clean up all the wiring
Velcro the Tunze ATO controller to stand
Velcro the LED color contorllers to stand
Chizzle my nice display rock to get smaller pieces into edge (add more rock)
Add Protein skimmer
Add TLF 150 Reactor with Chemi-Pure Elite.

This is the sump about an hour in, I will get a better pic soon. There is a tonne more rock in there now, and a different heater, ato, etc etc.
