Beautiful tank. Goes to show you what you can do in a small space ! Great choice of corals. It looks like a box of Crayola crayons ! Keep up the good husbandry !

Took some more pics...

CC Blue Rhino on the left. It was fairly bland and unlike their store pics when received, but colored up real nice after a few months and now looks exactly like their pics. Utter Chaos on the right.

Strawberry Shortcake and ORA Ant Insignis in the back. Fruit Loops on the right.

Blue Agave

How crap that's amazing. What intensity are you running your radions on? I burned my whole tank at 40%

Did you put on the plastic splash guard the MH comes with? This tanks is the best nano I have ever seen

First I took out all the stock components (reflector, sockets, fans, moonlight LEDs, control board, power cords). I used wire cutters and a welding iron to cut/melt away most of the left and right sides of the housing for the MH. Once the sides are removed, the Radion fits perfectly in between the fan cutouts (ie I didn't have to cut away the round plastic circle cutouts for the cooling fans in order for the Radion to fit). Of note, this leaves intact the possibility of screwing back in the stock cooling fans and using them for additional airflow across the tank for cooling (of course you would need to rewire the fans and provide a power supply).

Then I aligned the Radion in the center of the hood, and looking from the top of the hood marked the location of the mounting screws. I used a drill and make holes for the screws, and screwed the Radion to the hood using the included screws.

I routed the power cord through the hood's stock holes for the power cables. To hold the cables in place, I used the original screw sockets and screws to tie string between the screws and the power cable. I used to also keep the USB cable plugged into the Radion, and run the USB cable from the left side of the Radion along the backside of the hood to the right and out the stock holes with the power cable. The other end of the USB cable that plugs into computer was always dangling down and easily accessible to plug into a laptop.
