Recommendations on Nano Cubes

[LooseHip]

I talked to my current employer about possibly having a saltwater aquarium in our lobby area, and to my suprise they seemed all for it. Then they asked well maybe not, who will maintain it? and I said "well I can do it!", and then they really seemed all for it.

I don't want a big tank to take care of here at work seeing that I will have to do all the maintenance to it, so I was thinking that a 24g Nano would be a good fit. It is a clean looking tank that suites the look for the office.

Not sure what the budget is for this.... maybe 250-300 at the most.. I have the LR, Sand, and some frags that I could put in it. As for fish, I was thinking it will probably just have a couple of clowns, snails and hermit crabs.

Any suggestions from those who have experience with these, (as far as price, and reliablility)or should I avoid them for the office? I just want something that is a clean install, and will not take a lot of my time to maintenance.

Thanks,

Derrick

I would check out nanotuners.com. They have good deals on the nano tanks and their modifications are great. I got the 12 gal. Nano cube with their upgraded 72watt pc lights and it works great. As far as maintenance, a water change once a week is about all I do.

Right now Dr. Foster & Smith has the 12's on sale for $180, that includes the stand.

I got my 24 from here:

Same with taca, weekly water changes and I replace the filter floss at the same time. 20 minutes tops.

I have read that there is heat issues with some of these... anyone experience this? is a chiller necessary...?
