I actually started June of last year, but landing a new job forced me to extend the build. I had originally thought of a coral only tank, but then my daughter wanted "nemos."
June 2012
I had rocks with colors that I loved from my previous 100 gallon, and to which I kept in a 55 gallon.
Then I was able to get my hands on a nano for a very low price. It came with a return pump and a nano koralia, unfortunately it didn't come with a light.
So I began the long process of acquiring parts needed for the build.
October 2012
3 long months later, I finally had time to put the pieces together. I had one blown led, but I was able to swap it out for a red LED from the 10 I had purchased for other projects. It is a 2-1 blue(16) to white(7), with one red(1). I personally like the color, the picture makes it more blue that it actually is. I didn't know how to make the ATS LED with a phone charger, so this little project was put on hold while I did research. Not too many people responded to my posts on other forums.

I finally attempt and created a 2 red LED with a phone charger. I also added 2 clownfish, and 4 coral frags. Although one hasn't opened since I purchased it.
Anyways, picture time.
