I like that tank. Do you just stare at it and think of the possiblities? That is almost as fun as when one of those possibilities is realized. Is that going to be its permanent location? It is right by a window.
Yes because I live in an apartment right now and that window there is really not much sun coming in there, and yes I do stare at it, I just can't wait to set it up. I have to wait until my kids go to sleep tonight to start.

very nice i like it so far. what are the specs on the light? also if it is by the window sunlight speeds up the growth of hair algee so you may want to try and relocate that if you can..

Looks like a nice set-up, but like everyone else said get it away from that window or algae will be everywhere

I wish I could relocate it but that is the only place I could put it, I can close the blind if I need too. Oh the lights are t5s and is 32w total, I hope it is enough for this tank.

It's on the lower end as far as wpg, but with t-5's and a fairly shallow tank you would be fine with the lower light corals
Zoas, softies, some lps, all would look great in the tank.
I hear ya on trying to find a place for your tank in your apartment. I have the same trouble in my place, can't wait to buy a house
Just do your best at limiting the light from the window. What are you using for filtration

It has a built in the back filter, it is a 3 chamber filter one for the water to come in and the middle for live rock rubble and the third for the pump.

I took the water out of my 125g tank and added new saltwater to my 125g, so an other words I did a water change on my 125g. I will be testing my nano later when my kids are asleep, and if everything is alright I will be putting my fish that I have in my sump in there, it is a cardinal fish.

Did you use the rock that is in your bigger tank as well? Even if you did I would probably hold off on the fish for a week or so just to be safe, no point in rushing it
