Thought I would share my nano reef tank, it's still in its infancy but is definitely growing.
Tank is a custom 16" cube with DIY black acrylic overflow draining to a 10" cube custom sump. Return via 2x locline return nozzles. Lighting is a custom built 36watt par 38 led lamp with 60 degree optics. I use seachem purigen and phosguard in the sump and do not run a skimmer.

Enough of all the stuff people aren't interested in lol. Here are the pics.
