Nvert's 40 Gallon Reef World Tank Equipment Links Contact  One of my main concerns in the beginning was to have a tank that did not out scale the small home office. Because of this I decided to forego a sump (and thus a huge piece of furniture) and try to keep my equipment simple and affordable. I found pros and cons to this design. Pros: the tank area appears lighter and less heavy than similar tanks that are incorporated in huge pieces of furniture. Cons: all equipment is hang-on-the-back design, effiecent for this size tank but maybe not the most sophisticated. Also, cable management is an issue and the underside of the tank looks like an explosion of a roll of packaging tape. I am very pleased with the system although I can't wait for a larger tank but that's going to require me to compromise on my minimalist approach. In any event, the growth and colors of my corals and tank inhabitants does indeed demonstrate that my system does works.      Chemistry and Additives |
