They are a pretty cool little tank. The protein skimmer actually works pretty well as long as you keep the water level relatively consistent. The light is a love/hate kinda thing. I like it :) The stand is far better than any other nano stand I've seen and uses better/thicker wood. I have no complaints except the light really warms the water up. I plan on adding a finnex clip on fan. The main return pump moves the water around pretty well. I also added a koralia #2 pump for some extra flow. HTH

Here's some of the options they are coming out with.

I have this tank and love it...I have a few forums on Nano-reef I've been posting in and my BF started one on here for me. I'll include the links for you.

I do not like my light, don't get me wrong, I think it is enough light, just wish I had some sort of moonlights. My tank runs at about 87 degrees with the light dropped all the way down and glass top off, I have it raised all the way to the arm right now and it still runs at 81-82 degrees. The skimmer works great. ATO, could be bigger, I fill up both bottles every night (plus about 4 cups water), and have to clean the sponges/filter every night also or water doesn't flow well. Could have a bigger pump for flow, I'll be adding a 6025 from Tunze soon, chiller, and ACJR. Current could have made notches in the glass to hide the wires from the pumps since they come up and over the back glass.
