  1. Google Sketchup of the Sump

    In the planning stages of building a sump for my three nano's so I made a quick sketchup. The dimension are 55"x9"x14" with the total volume around 28g. The strange dimensions are due to the stand footprint restricting the width. An algae scrubber will be implemented at the far right of the sump and a carbon reactor will be hidden on the other side of the wall behind the ATS. This design will bring my overall system volume to around 65g. Let me know if you have any questions ...

  2. EcoTech Marine question


    I was thinking about taking the plunge and getting 1 or 2 ofthese for my tank. Question is would it be better to do 2 MP 10 or 1 MP40 on my75 gallon? Any input is welcomed. After the power going out twice last week would like to have a better plan than what i have now.
    Thanks Chris

  4. Ecotech Mp40 or Tunze Wavebox

    I have been looking at both of these products. I wanted to get some input and see what is the best decision.

  5. The Stair-stepping Nano Stand

    Finally making some progress on the nanos. I finished the stand and have all 3 of the display tanks, but I'm still undecided on the sump. Hopefully I can custom make a 55x9x14 inch 4 section sump, but I haven't ever worked with acrylic before. Maybe I'll get a estimate on a Melev's Reef sump. The stand is made with 2x4's, plywood, and over 80 wood screws. Surprisingly it is very level on all three sections. The holes in the stand are for plumbing.
