I managed to snag this cool setup during a trade. I traded live stock for this setup, which includes:

24G Aquapod Tank
Aquapod Pedestol Stand
Sunpod 150w HQI System with Blue and White Led Lights
Brand new 150w 20k Bulb
Unknown return pump
2x Koralia 1s
ViaAqau Heater
HOB Skimmer
Frag Rack
Lots of Extra Eggcrate (Yay)

I wasn't going to setup another tank, but the Sunpod system is a great system. Now I can try high light corals.

The only downside is I can't afford to run that many tanks. So I am taking down my smaller nanos and placing the live stock in this one. I took out the sand and the live rock (kept one very large piece). I am holding off moving the fish until I am sure everything is running smoothly.

Pictures:

Here is the tank being filled. Some lovely ink water.

A picture of MH 150w 20k bulb on. I thought it was going to be too blue, but I really like it.

Some of the rocks and sand.

I really like how the sand looks under the light. Its cool to watch the power head lightly blow the sand while the MH gives it a shimmer.

I tried to get a picture of the LED Moonlights, but for some reason they don't turn out too well on the camera.

Very nice, I love the black sand...and I haven't in the past. Can't wait to see it filled and stocked.
 
Thanks for the nice comments. Glad you like the black sand.

Here is a preview of a frag in the tank. This picture is horrible because my camera can't zoom in very well. But I have never seen my zoas so neon green before. I will go to the LFS this weekend and try to pick out a pretty coral colony to show off the lighting.

Really nice zoas. That will be a beautiful colony and against that sand...really going to pop.
 
Wow, what a great trade! Can't wait to see it come together!
 
You guys are great. Thanks for the encouragement.

As for livestock:
2x Black/White Australian Clown Fish (They are in QT)
1-2 other small fish. Not sure which ones. Suggestions welcome.
Some Inverts. Also not sure. I can do an updated stalk list again once I figure it out.

Corals:
Some SPS (thinking monti)
Zoa Wall (I will be gluing some zoa frags to the wall so they can spread)

Anyway, here are some Blue LED pictures to hold you off. I use these like Moonlights.

those moonlights look awesome! I bet the b&w clowns are going to look amazing in the tank. Those are one of my favorite kinds of clowns.

Your pictures are really making me want a nano, they are so sleek...
