    Well to start of my name is Ben. I've been on the site for awhile but never have really posted anything until now. I recently started getting back into the hobby. I decided to go with a smaller rimless tank and decided to pick the Mr. Aqua passion 32. Here are my plans for the equipment.

    • Tank: Mr. Aqua 32
    • Overflow: Glassholes 300gph
    • Stand: Custom
    • Sump: Eshopps nano cube refugium
    • Return: Sicce 1.0
    • Flow:Mp10
    • Skimmer: not sure yet but really like the NYOS 120
    • Lighting: Ecotech radion or Ati dimmable 6x24

    This I just a rough draft as of now so I'm open for suggestions.

    You've got a nice looking glass box there.
    Sounds like you're taking your time, getting a plan together and trying to do it right the first time. I'd keep doing that and i'm sure the tank will be awesome.

    So this weekend I was able to get a few things done on the tank. I work with glass for a living so I was able to drill the tank pretty easily. I bought some rock and the Eshopps nano refugium. Ill be in Colorado this weekend but hopefully will get water in it next week. image.jpeg image.jpeg

    I was lucky enough to have that at my work. Any glass shop would probably do it pretty cheap I'm sure. Two holes only took five minutes in all lol.

    So I got my two ORA premium picasso clowns today. Anybody every see any clowns with a white dot under each eye. I've seen a lot of clowns but none with the dots.

    i'm sure it's just a design flaw on the clowns if they both have it in the same spot. The flaws happen, kind of like how you said you were going to use a ecotech or ati light in the first post. Clearly the kessil is the obvious winner here.

    It's just on one of them. I figure it adds some character lol.
