Best all-in-one nano?

[EvilMel]

What's the nano options? MH, protein skimmer, and more than 12g are the requirements.

What are the good ones out there? How much do they cost?

Go to nano tunners. They customize and their prices range $250 - 600 depending on equipment. It will give you some good ideas. It seems that people always mod their all in ones such as adding a second PH and the only skimmers that fit are POS. Maybe you could do a smaller tank and sump.
Any idea on how much you want to spend? Size other than >12g?

I like what I see at Nano Customs:

Rather pricey but very very nice. I believe that they offer a number of retrofitting parts, too, so you can DIY some of them.

I think these are wickedly sexy.

I think this one has been discontinued though. Finnex does make other all in ones.

Oh the one I linked does not have a few extras added they are add ons like the UV steralizer. Still, a sweet nano.

I like this one. Similar to the others and maybe the same as the one Angela posted. FWIW I am very happy with 4 24 watt T5's over my 29. I'm getting better color out of some of my SPS that are in there than I did under halides in my big tank. Seem to do great for zoas and LPS too.

IMO you're better just going with a smaller tank and a sump... I have a 24g Aquapod and a 15g BioCube... I like the Aquapod better because I have a 150w Sunpod over it... The only skimmer that will fit is a Remora pro, wich sucks... The BioCube is worthless... I can only keep a few palys/zoas and a frogspawn in it... It has 2x24w PC's and no space for a skimmer with the hood on... Just go with a smaller RR tank... You'll save money and you'll be happier with it...

Checking out the prices of those things I would almost have to agree! Or just do weekley water changes in a regular tank with no skimmer and just a HOB and small PH. Or Even a wave timmer to add some kick with some MJ's. My old 5 is still kickin it with hardley no water changes at my freinds house and my other freind with the old 29's tank looks awsome with just a HOB 2 PH's and bi-weekly water changes. Petco is having $1 a gallon sale someone posted. Depending on what size you are thinking I like the shape of my 20 tall. A 29 is a nice cool size for a few fish and cheap but I really like the 40 cubeish sizes but they are not so cheap. I had a section of glass cut for a top locally real cheap also. Get a cheap T-5 or PC/VHO set up and you are good to go. Good luck setting up your new little tank. Evil mel with out her own zoas is just wrong!
