I have been looking around myself for a nano also. I have a 55g just sitting here, but after looking around, theres no space for me to set it up (bought it a while back, 2 of them actually, for my turtles for $80) and so I started looking at the all in one systems. I know they are kinda limited as far as mods and all, but having everything attached seems like it would be easier (easier as in not a big setup, hoses, etc... maybe I should use simpler) also I've seen others attack skimmers to the back of their nanos, and do other upgrades as well ( http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=87732&hl=aquapod+24 )
If I had the space, even with me owning the 55 I have now, I would have taken chucks deal as well lol. I've been looking at the Aquapod 24 gallon, 150W HQI Metal Halide System, but I just took a look at the Finnex limey1 posted. I know in the end the nano will probably cost as much as if I had gotten a 40ish sized tank, its just the space isnt there, and even if I wanted to get bigger, I cant. I've always heard that nano's were not really a good choice for beginners since they are small, and if something happened, theres less water and such to be forgiving with so I know if I went with a nano I'd feel like I had to be extra careful.
