Ok heres my attempt at a nice nano I have yet to get the Tunze nano skimmer but it is in the "to get" list. I changed the bulb from the stock "yellow" bulb to a Phoenix 14k. I will say the 150w Phoenix bulbs seem to be MORE blue than the 250w version, maybe its just me ??? Right now its kinda half reef half frag tank..Enjoy..

As you can see I added a MJ400 I also switched out the stock return pump with a MJ1200. Tank is a little cloudy, probably because I just glued up all those frags yesterday.
 
Your pod is looking good! I actually think the 250 and the 150 are about the same (blueness) I have used both, I had the 250w DE in my 135g cube.
 
Awesome, Scott! Now....if that was at my house instead of yours.... ;) You aren't allowed to play in the raffle next year :D
 
Been a while so I thought id update things a little. The aquapod is doing very well. Until yesterday I had all but one piece of rock in there, I now have to pieces of Marshal Island approx 5 pounds each. Flow still consists of the MJ 1200 return and the MJ 400. NO other filtration. This little tank is doing far better than my 75G that has tons of flow and a skimmer..

Here's some updated pictures taken today

Looking great Scott. That softie is huge. Is that a green slimmer reaching for the top?
