Been working on this 10 gallon nano for a bit now.
AC 110 turned into a ref.
96 watt quad light
~ 20 lbs of live rock
various softies
Plan to add some sps once its ages more, a skimmer, pair of clowns and maybe a sump.

The 110 intake is too long for a ten gallon. Just curious, how did you cut the AC lid? I'm doing pretty much the same setup but haven't set up the fuge yet and don't want to take the lid off completely, but don't want to break the lid cutting it.

I cut everything using a dremel tool with a standard cutting disk.
I didnt cycle it because it was all stuff taken from my 75
I am going to add some clowns tonight will post pictures of them.
On the AC 110, a lot of people put two baffles and put the heater in between them. But i wanted more space for my ref. So i just put one baffle in and stuck the heater long ways in the back of the filter

I have a AC 300 would that work with the conversion and would it be to much for like a 10-20 gallon nano? I noticed on the other site it said you can switch impellers can you do that with a 300 to lower down water flow?
