Nice.

Hows the 12G coming Rick? Any updates, I know you have been planing for some time.
Well yesterday I finally went and got my chiller. 1/5hp chiller for this tank :laugh:. I have also got my rock for scaping (free I may add!). Also was given a return pump by a very generous RC member.
Only thing I need now is my stand really. And some glass in order to make my AIO side mount overflow. After that, I am done.
Nice, I always liked the 12g long.
Here's the quick check list of what I have so far:
-Tank itself, Mr. Aqua Low iron tank 36"x12"x12"
-Maxspect 16k 160w led fixture
-Jebao 12000 pump (will probably swap this out as it may be too strong)
-1/5hp Chiller
-Vortech MP20. Many warned me that this would be too loud. Well I tried it on my discus tank and it was quieter than my already super quiet Eheim 1260. This little pump pushed a lot of water even in my 75g, so I can only imagine that this will be more than suitable for a 22g.
-another return pump to run a manifold
-TLF Phosban reactor 150
-Spectapure 90gpd 5 stage RO/DI unit
-Got my live rock! (Free!!!)
-JBJ auto top off
also have miscellaneous stuff like my background which is a simple frosted glass tint.
got my Kreg Jig to make my stand. Ran me $50 with nails but I already put it to good use making a small play table for the kids
I'm sure I am forgetting other things but I still need the following:
Runner pliers as well as the glass itself for making the outer overflow box
Need BH's and ALL plumbing still
Need Fuge light
acrylic. The stand will incorporate accented acrylic and this will cost a pretty penny. Probably somewhere around $150 for the acrylic.
A couple more reactors
ATO reservoir
compartments for dosing. I may just make these last two myself out of acrylic though
Still need stand hardware and such but every day I am getting closer and closer to getting this thing up and running.
No longer a 2 tank build so I changed the title of the thread :).
No planted tank?? And I've got the perfect ATO container if you'd be interested.
Do you expect to need the chiller? Outside heat or heat from equipment? I haven't found the need for one yet, that's big money stuff there lol
I hear ya Ricardo, my house is close to the same in the summer. I turn all of my heaters off for multiple months, it's actually kind of nice. I haven't yet needed a chiller for my nano but it would be a cool toy to have.
