jason142's 6g Shallow Nano

[jason142]

I bought this a few months ago with some LPs and zoas already in it. I have made changes like took out the lps and put them in my 180 then took some of my zoas from the 180 and put them in here. I added a tunze nano osmolator because the evap on this thing was crazy. I am going to make a few more changes in the couple of days like add about a 1/2 sand bed and remove the large rock and add the piece that I epoxied together, its sitting in the sump of the 180 for right now. I used rock that was already in my sump so there will be absolutely no cycle and I am going to take the sand to scripps and rinse with salt water after I do a really good rinse at home. Here are some pics from today

Nice.. Where did you pick it up from? Its an all In one right?

The wife was talking about setting up a little kitchen counter tank/frag tank.. And this dimensions are almost perfect!!

What's the total water volume?

I picked it from one of my friends off another board, its an advance acrylics tank. I'm not sure of the total water column because it was set up and stocked already when I bought it. When I do my 2g water change it takes the level to about halfway so if I were to guess it would be somewhere between 4 and 5g.

Well, back in June while I was on deployment the wife emailed me and told me that the tank had crashed, everything dead. I have been back from deployment for about 3 weeks now and starting to get it stocked back up, here is an update so far. I also figure out what crashed the tank, it was a hydor 7.5W slim heater, the plastic cracked and fried the whole tank.
