Default Looking for stuff

Ok I know several people here operate FS's and more have good places to buy so here is what I'm up to.

Looking for a decent nano I want to do a 25+ gallon with rock/sand for <$500 if possible so I was thinking the oceanic biocube 29g with the PC lighting

Also I'm setting up a 20g frag tank I have a good sand bed and filtration rig on it but am needing advice on a decent lighting array that won't break the bank, hopefully less than 100 bucks if possible once again probably gonna get stuck with PC's on this too


I just sold my 58g coral tank setup so I'm kind of starting over from scratch and am going to end up doing multiple nano's until I can talk the wife into letting me build out a wall for a 200+g tank


_________

24G JBJ Nano, 20# Live Sand, 40# Live Rock
Rose BTA, Kenya Tree, Frogspawn, Xenia, bubble coral
Blue/Green Chromis, 2x Black & White Percs, Dragon Goby

58G Oceanic, 60# LS, 60 LR, Lots of goodies

Nothing wrong with PC's, only drawback is that your limited on the corals you can keep under them.

sorry let me rephrase that i can see how it could be taken wrong, i have nothing against PC lighting

My personal pref in corals is 99% soft anyway, GSP's and xenias are my personal favs which is good cause their cheap and easy to grow

I would like to be able to put a clam in the new nano but from what I'm understanding there is only 1 type that is safe under PC's

i currently use T5's but i dont know of any nano's besides the red sea max that uses t5 and those are pretty pricey
I'll likely end up upgrading to a MH setup later down the road on the nano depending on the situation with the wife but i have to start out on a budget =\
