Just get some snails, that will be less than 15 bucks, then some sand, and the rock. Like I said with it going to be awhile before any coral or fish go in, just get base rock and a little bit of live rock. The live rock that you do get, make sure there is a little bit of coralline algae that way it can spread

Well, on these forums we arent really allow to post links to other sites. But I can tell you to search for eggcrate mods or aquapod mods on google or even nano-reef dot com has some great diaries of other aquarists aquapods and their mods. It took a lot of looking around to find them, but just do a search on their site for "eggcrate" or "aquapod mod" or something like that. Once you have private messages enabled, ping me and I can send you the direct links.
Cool. Will do so. Thanks and hope to see atleast the LR and LS in there

Ah yes, its so nice seeing someone take our advice haha. Best luck too you, but you know what your doing so hopefully ya wont need to rely on luck.
I must say the actinic/daylight bulb switch for the fans is a creative idea, I hadnt thought of that.

The mag float works ok. I would recommend just using an old credit card or gift card and scraping the algae with that. You could also put a small piece of cloth between the mag and the glass, it works a lot better.
What brand test kits did ya get?

I got the Aquarium Pharmaceuticals test kits.
yeah i heard about the piece of cloth between the mag. The LFS had a cloth on between their magfloat on their nano. It was funny first time i ever saw the magfloat i played with it for like 5 minutes. i bet they were happy that i was cleaning their tank for them.

Yea thats what I do hahah. I use API ones, good stuff. Had it for about a year and its still good, so that gives you an idea on the life of em. Never had to buy refills either, but thats dependent on how often you test.
