Nano for <$500

I'm aware it could have been done for a lot cheaper. I like gadgets.


To do it cheaper, don't use 34 LED's, an mp10, or a skimmer.

Gadgets are nice

Nice Tank! I like how you modded the light that came with the tank (I think I read that on another thread). I'll have to remember that if I start my small tank.

Other than LR, do you have any filtration? Or just water changes?

Thanks! yup I swapped out the stock little LED's for 4 3W Rapid LEDs.

it's a nuvo 4 so it has a media basket that comes with it. I have a sponge, then a little bag of GFO and a little bag of Carbon. it's only a few months old but so far I'm amazed at how little maintenance it requires.

I put a yellow tail damsel in it last week ($5.99 since we're counting haha)and he's doing great.

Wow that's a deal. . . one of the few times where you could actually make back your money if you ever decide to get out and sell.

I did my 10 gallon for about 500, but I also get whole sale prices on dry goods and livestock. Still though, it's possible with DIY strategies.
