really bad ipod pic

 

[MTG]

have you considered making a back chamber to hide all the gear?

 

[iluvnanos]

i would love to but i wouldnt know how

 

[MTG]

have a look at my TJ

you dont have to make it as small as mine or as difficult just follow a similar design. it means you can have a skimmer and heater out of view and stops micro bubbles . also gives you a spot to put a bag of GFO or carbon

 

[iluvnanos]

it looks great and i would love that would you be able to give me some help

 

[MTG]

you havent filled the tank with water yet have you?

 

[iluvnanos]

no i was actually just about to go out and get some

 

[MTG]

i would hold off an build the tank properly first :)

 

[iluvnanos]

yeah the equipment doesnt take up much space and im worried i would mess the tank up

 

[MTG]

what do you mean by mess the tank up? , is this your first marine tank?

 

[iluvnanos]

no its my second nano and i wouldnt know how to make the chamber

 

[MTG]

its just a simple sump design. very easy to make only requires a few bits of acrylic or glass and silicon

I certainly have to agree with MTG, take the time to put a back panel in, it really tidies things up and if you have to do any major skimmer or pump changes or whatever it won't disturb your main display. Also room for carbon etc.
Check out the one I put in my nano. We're here to help with design and build suggestions. :)
