Default Ryan's rock flower nano

Hi guys did some big upgrades on my nano today and took the time to take pics along the way. so last month I painted my fireplace and added a floating shelf for my amp and telus box.
Middle of painting

Ok so this is what I started with you can see in this pic the nano on ugly bulky stand to the left today I dicided to build another floating shelf plus run drain and return thru wall into crawlspace and into sump in garage 40' away.

I started by cutting into wall down the grove it's some sort of wood panel painted. Then removed and drilled 2 holes thru 2x4 in wall into crawlspace.

Next I built a box and drilled a couple more holes for plumbing also running power so I have a plug for light.

Pic of plumbing and electrical done next I have to run pipe thru crawlspace


So I got the tank on the stand next I plumbed the bottom up.


You can see where I cut the access panel in this Pic tomorrow I will sand edges and re paint then put a few small brad nails to close.

This is about all I'm doing today still will paint black and will be getting new light.

Close up of the rfa's enjoying the new much cleaner water coming from sump off my sps system. I also plan on doing some rock work in future to hide pipe gotta get some Fiji Crete.

Yah that's freaking awesome. I've always wanted to do a sweet nano that was ninja style plumbed in to a larger, more stable system.

Have you been raiding my day dreams?
