So I have been poking around these forums for a bit and decided to become a member when I ordered my Mr.Aqua 11.4 gallon rimless tank. I have been looking for a nano for a bit more of a challenge. The tank came in last night and well the box it came in was HUGE. So this is my build thread... At this point all I have is the tank and some ideas, I am looking at substrate and can't decide between Caribsea Pink Fiji Sand and Caribsea Orignial Grade. Also probably going to get the Korailia Nano 425 powerhead. Can't really decide on lighting, kind of thinking of the Ai sol nano lights but not for sure yet. Any suggestions


my gf in the box the tank was in...

Wow they ship girls, what did you pay for postage? LOL
As for lighting give a look at the Apollo Reef SCL36W, I really like the price tag and the fixture.

So I added the substrate and the water last night just waiting for it to settle. (just put the filter on there to see how high to have the water level)

Actually it didn't cost that much, jk she saw all the peanuts and begged me to let her "play". Also I checked out the fixture online and thanks for the idea, do you have it personally? and if so does it clamp on pretty firmly?

Sorry for the delay in response I was on vaction. I do not have this fixture but plan on getting it when I upgrade my reef tank.

I actually ended up ordering the Innovative Marine 8 Watt fixture instead just because it seemed a little smaller. Here is the tank basically set up waiting on the lights before I get everything. I had to put my damsel in there so it wasn't so empty but can't wait until the lights get in
