Beautiful tank! I want to do very similar dimension. But maybe 6-8'. So are you having drains and return out outs all along the centre of the tank?

It has a coast to coast on the far end of the tank. One return line on the opposite end that will be hidden in a rock tower. The other six holes are for two closed loops for water circulation.

Default 10 foot Nano....kinda

I have never looked into closed loop prior to reading this! Is the idea for more flow without having powerheads? Sill all the intakes /outflows be Hidden within the rocks? I can't wait to see this come together

Yeah that's the idea. Flow without power heads. Tank is viewable from three sides so I don't want cords everywhere. Intakes and outputs will be hidden in rockscape. Two intakes and 4 outputs.

Looks neat! The only thing I'd recommend is consider putting some drywall edge protector on the two corners closest to the top of the stairs. It's a high traffic area and it would be a shame to see a jacket zipper or something in someones hands chip the edge. The protectors are clear and self adhesive.

I know what your talking about. I'll look into them.

On another note, my nuvo 16 nano got jealous of the new tank and commuted suicide. Frantic call from my wife saying she heard a beeping and went into our bedroom and saw the tank almost empty and water everywhere. Spot from the base right up to the top right on the bent glass portion.....no clue how or why.

Luckily I was just cycling it and keeping it for moving fish and corals around. Thank god for shop vacs and steam cleaners.....

That sucks! I have been there with my nuvo 24... thankfully the 16 is still going strong.


Do you have any updates on the 10' beauty?
