    Thought I would start a build thread to track the progress on my first nano tank. I am really excited about this project and plan on having LPS (acans) some SPS, zoa garden and a GSP island.

    Tank: IM Nuvo 16
    Here is the new to me tank while I am cleaning it up thanks @Bud@Bud for the tip of placing paper towels soaked in vinegar on the back wall to remove the Coraline, it worked like a charm and wiped right off with a paper towel.

    Equipment
    Light: Radion XR30 Gen 2 pro (overkill I know but I couldn’t pass up the deal and I don’t want to be limited by light on what corals I can keep)
    Return pump: Cobalt MJ1200
    Heater: Cobalt Neo-Therm 75w
    Powerhead: an old Jaebo I had lying around, going to switch it out for an mp10 eventually.
    Fuge light: JBJ Nano Glo
    ATO: Tunze 3152 nano

    Sweet, that's my little trick that I came up with at one point, I guess not many people really know that trick!

    I finally had sometime to get a few pictures after the water cleared up. I am thinking I should make both structures a little taller.

    Added a few pieces of rock to make both structures taller. Any thoughts I really dislike aquascaping.
