Thanks for the post. I havn't seen these yet. They'd really go nicely with my black and silver furnishings.
I like the stand and light fixture, but that tank seems overpriced to me. A drilled rimless tank with the same dimensions would cost less and the stand is probably big enough to house a 10 gallon or so sump. The Lamp manual also shows quick disconnects so you could easily swap out the ballast for a better one.

the tank is a little pricey. ADA tanks are rimless and I think you can order them drilled now... They are really nice looking tanks. I'm going to buy the light and use it on an ADA.... it's going to look gooood!
here's the ADA! they are usually used for planted tanks.

DeMartini,
I cannot find any information on this nano or light. Could you possibly PM me any web info you might have on this? This would look sweet in my living room

Looks cool. Might be a good idea to put a small splashguard though. 34 gallons is a new high for nanos.

My LFS one of these tanks set up already and for sale. He is selling them for a great price too. (not a plug to benifit me i promise!). They are nice and look really cool but the chamber in the back is all exposed so you can see the skimmer and stuff. I just don't want to see that stuff when i look at my tank. It just needs a nice cover to hide it. otherwise it is great!

I have this tank and have it placed with the back up against the wall. You can not see the back chambers unless you REALLY look into it. The skimmer in 24 hours was making a really nasty skimmate.
My tank is still cycling but these pictures are from when I first got it about 3 weeks ago, I added 2 bags of Black sand, and have about 4 big peices of rock right now.
Since these pictures I've added some corals from my bf's 265gal tank that he had plenty to spare of, plus a brain coral, a plate coral, and a clown fish. Right now I'm running the tank topless, as the glass heats up when its on and I don't have a chiller yet. My tank has been running at a steak 85.7. A little high for me, but I'm awaiting my ACJr and chiller. The stock flow for this tank is minimal at best and needs assistance. Will be adding some tunze's in the next few weeks also. Once my diatom bloom is gone I'll take more pictures and post.

The dimensions are 20x20x20. and after looking, and doing the math - the actual volume of this tank would be more along the lines of 25g - 27g before sand/rock displacement ...
My BF's personal take on this tank (he's Mr. Saltwater, at least in his book, has a 265g display, 400g total tank)...
The ATO leaves a little to be desired - but we can work with that ... we might just make that a kalk topoff, or 2 part topoff. We will have to play with that.
The skimmer seems to be built decent. Only had it out once, and wasn't paying too much attention to it to be quiet honest. The skimmer is already going nuts - seems to finally have slimed up enough to produce and bring the bubbles up it's neck. It is a little loud though, and I really wish they'd have put some thought into the wire management, and lenth of wires.The cables are too short on these pumps, and there are no cutouts int he rear glass for the wires to disappear seamlessly under the edge - the tank is 20" tall all around, so the wires pop over the rear edge - very visible. :-(
The cabinet was a PITA to put together, and I just spoke with another LFS that has one on display - they had the same issues as we had. The rear pannel (pressed wood) is a little too think for the slot cut into the LEFT & RIGHT side pieces - it took us a rubber mallet, and KY to convince the panel where it should go ... the screws are cheap, and love to snap heads + round out the heads. I'd NOT use their screws next time.
As for the glass tank itself - quality seems up to par!
I've heard that Nano-tuners is back ordered three months on this tank from the LFS that I purchased my tank from. And don't forget to add shipping costs for the tank, it wasn't cheap when I was looking to purchase from Nano-tuners.
In all I give this tank two thumbs up!
