There is still nothing in the tank. I'm waiting for my lights which should be here next week. I already bought the live rock and is curing in a bucket at the moment. I still haven't decided on what I want to use for flow. I was thinking about two hydor koralia nano, but I'm not sure that is going to be enough. I'm open to anyones opinion on what I should get.

I understand that I'm going to have a couple chords hanging over for the pumps... I may just add a colored background to hide them.
if you think about it when we do the filter mod on our all-in-one tanks we replace the filter media with live rock. I will still be doing weekly water changes; this should be enough to keep the tank clean and healthy. However, I will be adding a HOB filter with a bag of carbon for a few hours whenever I do water changes just to remove any debris that I can kick up.

thank you so much! I should be starting the tank next week.

what made you not buy the solana tank made by current usa? Since it has a filtration system in the back as well as automatic top off bottle. Pretty cool. Plus they both look the same...was it the price?
