Looking to get a nano- what's your opinion?

[mallorieGgator]

Hey all! After going without a tank for awhile now, I'm wanting to get a nano... Been having withdrawls watching the R2R Facebook page. lol! I would like to hear your opinions on what you feel is a good size and do you prefer an "all-inclusive" tank or a nano that you need a sump, light, pump etc? All opinions welcome! Budget is a factor so keep that in mind. Thanks!

I have the 30 gallon rimless from jbj and it is an awesome tank for the price! The pumps are strong and quiet as well!

Budget is a factor for me. I have a standard 29 gallon display. I like the extra height over a 20 long with the same footprint. I used a 15 gallon long for my sump with a filter sick and a reef octopus.

I've seen some shallow tanks that are beautiful but I'm a fan of tall rock structures with a lot of real estate for corals.

Check out the link in my signature for Sarah's Bio Cube, I love that little tank.

Thanks Chris! I really like that tank. Is it easy to clean? I read people were having issues with the plumbing in the back blowing apart. Have you had that problem? Also, what light are you using?

Haha, honestly, I don't clean it.... I scrape the glass and top it off about once a week. I cut the back compartment out, no need for it, plus it gives about 3" more width and that helps a lot for aqua scapeing. I use a Reefbreeders value LED over it.
