This is my 12"X12"X18"h tankAttachment 14059
This is my sump. It is 12" wide X 30" long X 12 high. Attachment 14060
The stand is a peninsula type with the tank jetting out front. This is to accommodate a coffee table that will sit underneath it. Attachment 14061
As you can see I'm still in the process of getting it wet. Was waiting for the reactors to arrive. Now I have to complete the plumbing.

The reactors are the Vertex Rx-U 1.5. They will be activated carbon & GFO. The pump is an Eheim compact + 3000. It has a 4" filter sock. Plus I have ordered a sheet of thin high gloss aluminum checker plate to cover the black powder coated stand.

Looks really neat, look forward to seeing the final product.

this should be awesome , great idea !

Finally picked up the skimmer. I bought a Vertex Omega 130. I know it is a little over kill but I was told to always go bigger if I can. Now all I have to do is compleat the plumbing to get it wet. WOO HOO!!!

This is different. I'm looking forward to see how it turns out. Is that a little one-piece eurobrace? Awesome.

My little Nano
 

Yes it is!! Concept did a awesome design job. Thank all you that have shown interest.

Man trying to update my tank pics but tapatalk won't allow me to

Tapatalk is tricky to upload sometimes...drives me bonkers.

Is it really a nano if you have a sump that size?

I think so. The total water volume is still under 30 gallons. The display is under 10. I guess you be the judge. What would we call it?

looks a bit cluttered IMO for such a small tank . I would try and make the branch pieces look like they are coming out of the main rock and remove the top shelf rock , maybe stick the shelf on the front of the main rock with some glue/putty

I see what you are saying. Please keep in mind the tank will only house dwarf seahorses. What if I punch a hole though the centre to have a sort of cave ?

You will want to watch the flow from your pump for dwarf seahorses, they are really poor swimmers and can easily get sucked up against the overflow. I had an Aquaclear 20 on a 10g dwarf seahorse tank and I had to put a sponge around the intake because it was too strong for them. I don't miss preparing and feeding live food to them twice a day but they are very interesting to watch.

I know I have had them before.

Ok I had to delete the pics I posted due to the fact it would not let me post any more. This is so I can Zhou you the progress. Tell you the truth I don't know how to store more photos like others.

The tank is now ready for me to put water in.

You need to set up a free photobucket account and then copy and paste the image code of the photos into the "Insert Image" icon.

Ok I opened a photobucket account now I will figure out how to attach the link.

Just to let you guys know. I'm never in a rush.

I finally put water in this thing. Working great. Only thing is the drain is loud real loud.
