    A couple additional mods I forgot to mention.

    I had to move a baffle in the filter area to isolate the wave box.

    I also cut the overflow slots down lower. I hate having water high in a rimless tank.

    Looking great Mike. This is the exact build quality I would expect from you. Cant wait to see how this bad boy comes together.

    A pair of dot-dash cardinals are going in today. I've settled on having a shoal of small schooling fish in the tank. Should give it a nice amount of activity.

    What a great nano Mike - just caught up on this build. Can't wait to see the 'secret stash' of rock. Where does one keep a secret stash of rock anyway? That cracked me up. :)

    You won't ever get to see the stash...

    I had it stored in the sump of another project. The rocks were out of the tank I just took down lately.

    Added three cardinals and three nassarius but didn't have time for a video before the lights went out. I'll get one online tomorrow.

    The ato is in which should be the last piece of equipment until Innovative Marine releases their skimmer.
