Thanks for sharing all your knowledge and opinion with me. I have been doing a lot of research trying to find out nano tank works best for me. It is a very hard decision as there are so many options out there. All your opinions/advice are welcome.

cheers

I'd say forget the pre-built nanos. A lot of them need to be modified anyway, which is a waste of money, IMO.

You could buy a 20-25 gallon tank for pretty cheap, drill it, and add a sump/'fuge using another tank (like a 5 gallon).

I built my own "cubes" and they turned out pretty good. I'm going to drill my smaller cube in two places so I can get rid of the overflow tube and the powerhead hose. mops.ca sells decent glass drill bits for pretty cheap, and they work.

Here are some pics. They're a bit dated, so my tanks look a bit different now. (Don't bother with the Lee's skimmer or the Current USA Nano skimmer.)

6 gallon display w/ 2 gallon sump:



Pieces I used instead of drilling the tanks:

There you are Flusher! Flusher-built Nanos ROCK, SW or FW. But if you're not a DIY type, the Biocube is great, with the mods mentioned above. A box of water is all you need, the lighting and flow are the important parts. My Wife's Nano is a 10 Gal. with a Whisper Mini HOB filter(LR rubble only), and two mini powerheads in tank. 2 Coralife 50/50s (20 Watt each) screw right in to the stock canopy. There's also a 50 Watt heater. Total cost of all her equip. was around $200.
