Fish's 2 gallon nano tank - 8" cube.

This is the result of my efforts to make a bulletproof nano with no visible equipment. Info on reefcentral.com and nano-reef.com under the name "ninjafish". Hope you enjoy.

Beautiful, this vid inspired me to do one of these, Ive got a lot of experience with fresh but no salt, how hard do you think this would be if I had something like a 20 gal sump for a 2 gal tank? I can hide a big sump pretty easy in my house. Do I need a filter or just some pumps? Thanks! 5*

@DanJeffery07

A large sump attached to a nano display would be a great system. The only challenge you would have is designing your overflow. If it was me I would have the tank viewable from three sides with a false back wall (black acrylic) serving as an overflow with two bulkheads in the bottom of the tank behind the wall. Two bulkheads would allow you to use a "herbie"-style drain which would be silent/safe/and bubble free without having to mess with a durso-style standpipe. HTH

Thanks guys!

Buddy a guy offered me 800 for the micro pico at a show and I let him walk off with it then shut down and went to the mall lol

would never fault a man for a business transaction lol but I still keep the vase. I'll click around the sites to see if you still kept one man, if not I know you'll be back soon

I ride a heritage softail 03 man do you do sport bikes or cruisers

any chance a ninja ~ would love to try a rocket. I truly think I could pull a wheelie lol

[N1njaFish]

The heritage softail is a beautiful bike. No, I haven`t owned a ninja (except once in college but that was just to flip to make some cash).

The sale of my nano went to pay for a 1978 cb550f (the same model and vintage as my first bike when I was 14 so I end up buying it every time I come across one)

In the past three years I have gone through a few modern bikes as well: suzuki dl1000 v-strom, honda 919, and kawasaki versys. no harley yet but I would love an xr1200 someday.

Cheers brother.

Sorry Brandon, I sold the entire system a while ago when I decided to change hobbies from reefing to motorcycling. I will see if I can get an update from the current owner.

[earthling1984]

i come back to this vid often just to hear the song :) the tank is beauiful as well :)

[chickenswaffles2]

So is it drilled? Where's it overflow to? How does it work??? haha

[earthling1984]

got a question, as this video has been up for a long time and I have watched it for a long time just to hear this song. This isn't audioswap is it?!? if it is, I need to use it... but my question is, if it isn't audioswap, how are you using it?

[earthling1984]

I have commented before.. but I come back to this video sometimes just because... it is so beautiful. Great images and great song... Thanks for a great video :)

That's 2 gallons? It seems much more. Pretty wild setup. 10 stars for it!
