ok, so here is the story, i decided to build my own canopy for my nano reef, wich was a 20 long. it was great untill it started to rot and mold. SO, when i went into work, and asked what the price on a new canopy is, i founf out that it would be cheeper for me to buy a 40 gallon tank, stand and canopy that was on sale. so i did, and getting my hands on very mature live rock, and having some good sand started a chain reaction, which led to 3 tanks being set up quite quickly. i moved my reef into that 40 tank, and moved my 10 gallon grow tank (i have a 4 inch snowflake, into the 20 long, with a proper hood. so i than had an empty 10 gallon, and a 20 tall planted fw tank. so i decided to make the ten gallon a refugium for the 40 reef, which worked out well, since i have a 20 inch pc light kicking around, and found an inline pump for 20 bucks. so now, after a week of headaches setting it up PROPERLY i have 3 true tanks set up. and they are currently stalked as so
