So we picked up our new tank today form AO from their tank promo. It has a center overflow and is drilled with 3/4 inch and 1 inch bulkheads. The stand is pretty cool and has doors on three sides so you can access it from any side. We are breaking down the 20 gallon tank and everything will go into the 57. We are going to go sumpless for the time being until we move the tank into a house. I already have the plugs for the holes and will just run a pump back there for flow. We are going to move the Aqua C Remora HOB filter onto the new tank as our skimmer. I picked up an MP 20 for flow and we are going to get a a 6 bulb T5 TEK fixture for lighting. We bought another 30 pounds of live rock today which is cyclying in a 27 gallon rubbermaid container. We are going to let it cycle for a month and then transfer over everything. Wish us luck, We are glad to finally break out of the nano forum. For the record we are still keeping the 30g and the 12g so we will still be 2/3 nano.
As a tease here is a video of the tank from MACNA. Obviously this is not our tank but it looks the same.
