If you can mount it on a frag plug I’ll take it :)

Do you have the cabinets? Pre fab probably come in 30 or 36 wide. Might get lucky with a 33” in certain manufacturers. That would look the cleanest. 30” will have 2.5” filler panels on each side. And are you going to the ceiling or holding them back? Would you want crown moulding or similar?

Where do you live again? If not too far I can hang them for you

Ok I couldn’t resist… I bought some sexy shrimp and a yashi goby pistol shrimp combo. Didn’t really think about how much sand the shrimp would move, but in such a small system, it’s a lot! Haha. Had to move some corals to new locations.

So sorry to hear what you’re dealing with. Been there. It’s miserable watching your fish get ick and or velvet. That helpless feeling sitting in your stomach. I had luck saving some of my fish with good water, strong UV and dosing peroxide. Good luck!

I second the Lifegard UVs. Mine has made a world of difference in my tank. They seem to be built to last, especially with all the replaceable wear parts as stated.

Which store would that be? I’ve seen them around $30 each. I’d gladly buy 5 if $10 each

I think they’d be perfect in this tank, but don’t really fit the “Budget” mentality

Really? Gone huh. Guess I got a classic now!

Ok update time. Everything is going smoothly with the budget nano. SPS frags I added are doing fine. Added a few zoa frags and a blasto from @tribbitt. $10 Build the diy ATO container given to me by @MichaelB via @MarcosD. $0. And purchased an F zone ATO kit $45 to go along with it. This should...

Frozen foods of different varieties, mysis, brine, mixed meats, etc… TDO pellets, flakes, nori

Agreed! I’d like some wrasses, but they will also crush my snail population, right?

Just an update, Since catching and disposing of the four I found, I have not seen any others, day or night. Fingers crossed I'm good!

Everything still going smoothly. Very little evaporation of water so I just add a splash every other day to keep salinity stable. Mushroom have really opened up! Added a small free monti frag I had in the 220. I’d really like to add some sexy shrimp. But damn they are expensive!!! Any one have...

I concur with Michael. Do what’s easiest to make the frame or platform. You’re over thinking it just a little :)
