I have been away from this site for a long time,,, didnt like the two cents everyone had when you asked a simple question. I love my nano tanks, I have had some very large tanks in the past my biggest being a 265 gallon that I still have. But right now I am going to custom build a seven tank nano system I am going to build it in a stairway configuration, never seen anyone do it so I think it will be a first. Each tank is going to drain into the one lower and with the correct plumbing I will be able to shut off a tank if I notice a problem in it. I am going to use one of my 90 gallon tanks as a sump/system. The last tank (or the first depends how you look at it will drain into the sump) all the tanks are drilled in the center back bottom. these tanks are 2' square and 13inches deep.. Right now I am working on getting all of my building supplies together
?QUESTION? Looking on info on what brand of pump to use needs to have 1" lines or thats what I would perfer, I have been looking at pond pumps because of size and volume has anyone ever done something like this. after I get this in motion I will post pictures from my stockpile to the finished STAIRWAY TO FISHEY HEAVEN... but as I stated in my very first sentence if you dont like what IM doing dont bash me be nice and tell me..

Whoa man. That sounds like a very unique and potentially beautiful setup. I've never seen anything like this before so I'm excited to see what it will look like. Seven, that's a lot. How big are the tanks going to be?

Havent had the time to get this going, and I'm still looking for a pump for the system. I have most of the parts that I need and will be cutting the wood shortly. I dont like to start something with out having everything that I need to get the job done. I know that this is going to be a heavy system so I have been working in a crawl space supporting the floor. I will be posting alot of pictures of the build and I hope that it will start some time in the next week or two. I have alot on my plate right now with other projects that I am doing. I restore old furniture and everytime I start on this project something else comes up. Like the project that I'm doing right now it was a tile top round table, im removing the tiles putting in new wood and covering that with green felt for a card table and of course it has to be paint/stripped and stained project is sold b4 it is done and I found the table and chairs on the side of the road have about 40 invested and sold it for 400 not bad if i do say so myself but I would rather make money than spend it. unless im spending on my fish... talk to ya soon...
