Let's list all my equipment I currently am using...
The stand is sort of a custom build. It was originally a 36"×24"×36" for a 36"×24" rimless 90g reef I had. It ended up warping(yep leveled the stand and used a leveling mat under the tank) the bottom pane cracked and dumped about 40g of salt water onto my 40 year old heart pine floors. I got a warranty replacement stand and tank that I had running for about 3 years until I recently, and slightly downsized into the much nicer Red Sea tank. The stand was cut, reinforced and put back together in about 20"×24"×36" measurements (it's been a few years I'd have to measure again) to fit the IM tank with a little lip to fit some knick knacks around the edge.
The light is a Nanobox Duo +m. It's made for saltwater and is heavy in blue, but the white channel is still pretty strong. It's got cool and warm whites as well as royal blue, aqua blue, lime and UV LEDs. So far, it's growing plants VERY well and I have no algae to speak of. It's fully controllable for time and intensity on each individual channel.
Flow is accomplished by an Innovative Marine desktop size DC return pump. I have it on the lowest setting and seems to not blast my tetras around too bad.
The heater is currently a very cheap preset Top Fin from the wally world.
Filtration is done by a inTank media basket with that simple white and blue filter mesh cut into squares to fit the basket. No chemical filtration at this time.
