Not much of a build thread, when it comes to these all in one nano's, but thought maybe it would help people decide on if it's a product they'd like to try, etc.
I used all established sand from the Biocube I sold, along with water from it. Which was great cuz it meant almost zero cycle. I used a few pieces of Marco rock I still had laying around which helped my cause. Did a simple arch and about a week later all levels were zero, Alk was 10.7, Ca 400, SG 1.028 (which I've been slowing bringing down and now is at 1.025.
Set up came with a glass pedastal that raises the tank up about 3" up. Comes with a media basket that has three stages of filtration. From top to bottom of basket a)mechanical filter sponge b)activated carbon c)phosphate sponge. Lighting is provided by a clamp on 8W LED Skye light. My model has 6 1W 10K LEDs, and 4 .5 actinic bulbs. Gives the tank a brilliant white look. (I'm actually surprised how well this little light does over the tank.) Return pump is an adjustable 18-92 gph.
Here's a quick pic of it, after the cycle and my first purchases. Gave Aquatic Dreams more of my money, and got a Tailspot Blenny along with a purple with green tentacle plate coral. Here you can see them just floating, starting the acclimation process.
More to follow. The reefer in me has already made some mods and will expand more on stocking plans.

I have Pumpkin' Nightmares, and just picked up some Red Hornets the other day. Pretty bare right now.
