decision time, which tank to get?

[Clarkii3]

ok here is what im deciding between

1. 12g nano cube DX
2. 24g nano cube DX
3. 12g aquapod
4. 24g aquapod
5. 24g aquapod + 70w HQI
6. 20g Finnex M Tank - http://www.premiumaquatics.com/Merc...oduct_Code=FI-MT-2101&Category_Code=Aquariums

All would be skimmerless except the 20g finnex which comes with the skimmer. and if i need a chiller for the 24g +70w mh, thats out of the picture, so tell me what ya think.

I don't have room for a sump so i wanted an all in one system, also i like the fact i can hide all of the equiptment.

i have about $660 to spend, and would also like to stock it up pretty good.

I have the Pod 24 PC, you can upgrade the lighting if you want too as well as mod the filtration to function as a fuge...it's a little work but probably worth the money.

Go with the AP 70w MH if you can go topless. Heat issues will not be a big deal.

 

[Biotope7]

AP 24 pc = $220.00

Live Rock= $120.00

Live sand= $60.00

Heater = $40.00

2 thermo fans=$20.00 <<<<Toss the original....

Under $500.00 with room for critters and Coral.

Just my 2 cents......Mike

pod 24 gallon w/ 70 watt or 150 watt metal halide unit. Unless you like the moonlights, i'd opt for the new jbj hang out MH lights that will be coming out soon.
