mr_alberta's new(ish) nano
Had this tank for a bit now, but recently tore it down and drilled it for a closed loop system. Here are the revamped specs:
Tank: 36"x12"x8" custom tank Water movement: Custom Sea Life T4 pump Tunze NanoStream 6045 Lighting: 36" SLS Tek Light 4x39W bulb fixture (2 Giesemann AquaBlue, 1 Giesemann Actinic+, 1 Giesemann Midday) Skimmer: Reef Octopus DDNW-250 Dual Recirculation needlewheel skimmer Heater: None - I figure that since the T3 is such a hot running pump to begin with, I most likely won't need a heater Chiller: Pacific Coast Imports 1/10hp Topoff: Tsunami Auto Topoff w/ Hagen 401 powerhead Livestock: 2-False Perc. Methodology: For this tank I am using the BB method once again. My previous tank was also a BB and I enjoyed that look quite a bit, so I've decided to do it again. Plus I can really crank up the flow if I need to and not worry about sand going everywhere.

Here are some quick pictures from this morning:
The tank has been running for approximately 15hrs now in its current state, and I've already encountered a problem with heat! Without a heater, the pump alone has brought my water temperature up to 90*F!! I'll need to find a solution to cool it down. Hopefully the extra 9 gallons or so of water that my skimmer holds will bring the temperature down some as well.

No, most of them came from ReefHawk1, but 2 of them did come from the order (tan millie and that large acro in the center of my tank).
