Hey all on MR, Just wanted to show my new mini build that is in progress. What I have is a Famous Custom King Nano Reef tank (20" x 20" x 14"), and a custom built Aquarium stand made by myself. All DIY projects done by yours truly. Well just wanna get your honest feedback, and to show off what im currently working on.

UPDATE# 2

Just a little update that I have done to my 25GL Nano system. Check it out and Lmk what ya think.

My new Aquascape, honestly didn't like the way I started with the rocks. But this way I put them gets even water flow all around the rocks

Great job on the DIY projects. Beautiful looking stand. Now all you have to do is figure out how to flip your images so I don't have to turn the computer on its side to see them!

Nice, just a question though, why are you running a chiller? Does the house get that hot at this time of year? Noticed you had LED's. Curious.

nice diy

Hey guys thanx on the comments and the good wishes. As far as the chiller concerns, yea my wife bakes alot & the house gets very warm. So that's the only reason why im running the chiller. But it does help out alot, keeps my tank steady at 77 degrees. Hey all your input helps alot. And thanx again
