Absolute best All-in-one Nano?

I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on what the best (20g or less) nano is?

I'm looking for something that is of the highest quality, with extras such as refugium, skimmer, sump, if available. I noticed the JBJ has horrible reviews. I want something classy yet robust enough to support corals/inverts.

The best answer is some sort of DIY I'm sure, but I am mechanically challenged, and always end up making my creations look like trash.

Money is no object.
 
weelllllllllll.if money is no object then why not just buy a 20 with some nice HQI fixture (already built, all you have to do is set it on your tank......im sure you know you need live rock and such.....so yea you will not find one with a sump at all unless you find a LFS that sells a RR tanks with sump......other then that you are lookin to have to buy a sump and plump it with flexable tubing
 
I just ordered a 12 gallon Aquapod. Everything I have been able to find and read about this aquarium is very positive. They sell a 24 gallon model as well.
 
The aquapod 24 with the 150 watt hqi is probably the best bang for the buck. You can keep any coral you want with that lighting. And I have seen it for $329 at Dr Fosters Smith. That is what I am going to buy.
 
Those Cadlights tanks are HOT (not temperature). The T5's are super bright and cool unlike the halides and the tanks look very beautiful with a very nice custom touch to it if you are into highend designs. the glass is super thick at 7mm, the thickest one i have seen so far.

i bought a 22gT5HO set-up from them a few months ago and it is doing great. i am planning to add some sps in there next month but for now it is stocked with 5 corals and 5 fishes.

the 144watts T5 light is phenomenal, it is so bright and it brings out the colors of my reef better than any light i have used so far. it comes with 4 x 10,000k and 2 x actinics with 2 separate switches to control the actinics and the 10,000k's. the best part is that it has 2 wires running 2 ballasts, so you can put a timer on each one to make the blues and the daylights come on at different times. cool design feature.

i am planning to put another one in my office as well, i just cant get enough of this tank.
