    first thing i did was gut the cadlight so there is just the outer glass and will drill holes on back pane for drain/feed and make a better overflow. doing this added a little more space with better flow. but i need a closet to put all the hardware to operate this little guy. so here it goes, the cadlight is going where the ladder is in the pic with the studs, can you say nano nano.

    the nano is not going to be inside the wall, the fake closet is the fish room for all the crap its gonna take to make it run. the nano illl be infront of the wall so you can see it from 3 views.

    just to give you an idea what the finished look will be like. the ro/di, chiller, ballasts, fuge, sump, skimmer, dosing pumps and so on all go in the closet/fish room.

    i found an unlabelled 20a circuit breaker with a wire. turned the breaker off and checked every switch and plug in the house, guess what, everything in the house still works, so the nano is gonna have its own line. woo hoo. i just gotta snake one through the house to the box.
