Thinking about starting a nano. Anyone use this tank?

The tank will be in an office on my desk. Temps are controlled during the week, but the building turns off the AC on the weekends to save bills. I plan on using one of the micro chillers to make sure that I can keep the temps stable. Other than that, has anyone seen/used this particular tank setup? I've seen the 12g hex w/ everything built in, but this seems to have better specs (w/g, better skimmer, etc). I will be removing the w/d part of the tank, and putting in a macro refugium, but other than that, does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

Brian that would make a FINE reef aquarium. I dont know how the pricing would fare in terms of buying the parts separately, but at face value it looks like a good deal.

Excellent idea about replacing the wet/dry with a refugium. The lights look good to go and it appears to be a well-planned setup.

Great thread referral, Id consider buying one of those.

Looks very nice. I'd buy it. I would check to see if they can drill holes in the back wall for closed loops.

I like the design. I have a 18 gallon tank with the built in wet/dry and skimmer. I pulled all that crap out and have a thriving fuge in there now instead. The little sump/fiulter area is also a nice place to be able to do topoffs and add supplements since it's open.
