Ok so today is the day the stand comes (t minus 2 hours) and so I have the tank full of tap water testing the pump and for leaks. I also got the dry rock split up but it's still too big. If you can belive it the 35 lbs of it came in 3 huge pieces. Couple of questions. First I bought agraalive...

Rock, sand and MP10 come tomorrow. Stand comes on Thursday!!! I might be able to get going on this thing this weekend.

Here is the 30L build...

Ok so I got the lights. I selected the Current USA Orbit Marine Lights in the 36-48 model. It might be a tad too long for the Nuvo 30L as the mounting rails stick out about 1/4 inch on each side. I will use a pair of pliers to bend them a bit into the tank. Even without modification, the light...

Thanks Waddi. I finally found a thread about this tank on reefcentral.com. Some people question the quality of the seals in the overflows which kind of makes me nervous. The dimensions of the largest part of the overflow are 10 1/2" W x 12 1/2" H x 2 13/16" D so the skimmer would have to be...
