The tank comes with a cabinet stand which was bought locally from a pet store. The water volume of the dipaly tank is 18g + the sump/fuge which is roughly 9g
Lightning4 x 24w T5
The tank is light with 4 x 24w T5 set made by Weipro. The stock t5 lights was not sufficient for my corals needs so I replaced it with ATI's 2 Aquablue Spezials and 2 Blue plus.

and to add a ramdom flow, it is combined with a SCWD connected to the return pump Hydor Seltz L40 II rated at 700gph.

Introduction and BackgroundMy nano has been running for 9 months. Most of the inhabitants are from my 5g desktop nano which I strip bare except for the softies. I started the sps around a month now after experimenting with the brown acro which thrived and colored up a bit. After which my interest on sps has begun, acquiring few colonies and frags.
On the other hand, may I adviced everyone that my approached might be quite uncommon. Please understand that i've spent hundreds of hours killing those reef forums trying to understand the possibilties of ovestocking a reeftank.Latest FTS:
