Which Nano tank

[zigrat88]

OK, this has got to me a pretty common post here, but I couldn't find any info. I currently have a couple of larger tanks but I would like to get a nice nano for a corner in the house. Already have a pair of clowns picked out to live there, just need to set it up.

Really looking for the all in one nano tank. Just curious which way to go. Nano cube? Bio Cube? the new Red Sea product (looks nice but more $$$)?

I already have enough LR and sand, just need advice as to which way to go. Want plug and play functionality along with the ability to grow some easy corals (xenia, maybe a softie or LPS).

All suggestions welcome!

cadlight, finnex, red sea max?...

Personally, I like the Redsea Max. It has 110w of T5, built in skimmer, and individual controls. It has a nice 29 gallon display and a fuge as well.

I also like this system too

What do you plan on keeping?

For just softies and LPS you can go with a stock Nanocube, Aquapod or Biocube. 6 of one, half dozen of the other in terms of how they are, same cookie cutter design.

I really like the cadlights system though, thought about getting one and doing a 100% Euphylia tank, nothing but hammer, frogspawn and torch corals. That would look cool with a couple clowns.

Planning on keeping some xenia, LPS (hammer or frogspawn), torch and a couple of clowns is my initial vision. No SPS.

Has anyone actually have / used the red sea max? I like what I've read but it's 3-4 hundred more (with stand) then any of the other ones.

There are some reviews of it on www.nano-reef.com, look under the "All in One's" forum.

I just set up a nano cube 6. I love it. Only mods i did was to swap the stock pump for a maxi jet 600 and added a hydor flow to the output. I also did the cassette tape surface skim mod as well. Very nice little tank and the perfect size for the top of a dresser.

I like the bio cubes the only drawback to me is the lighting I have a 14 g and I think it was only 2x24 pc lighting but i uprgraded to the Sunpod 14K 70 watt metal halide but i guess the lighting would work for just xenia and a few softies
