A 20 gallon tank with a stand that can accomodate a 10 gall sump will take up no more space than the bio cube. My lfs drills tanks for 20 bux a hole, ask around if u cant or dont wanna do it yourself. Ive had 2 nano cubes, both different brands....wont buy another one. | |

Unless damaged somehow in shipment or setup, can't even imagine it happening.  _________ AG "125," AquaC EV 180, 30 gal sump, "SCWD", 80 lbs LR, CoralSeaLife "Moonlite" Hood, PFO 250W HQI Mini-Pendant (SPS HQI 14000k bulb)
12 Gallon NanoCube - 24w stock PC 50/50 light "...nothing good ever happens fast in a reef tank, only bad things happen fast..."

Just buy all-glass aquarium brands. A 10 gallon and a 20 will cost u maybe 40-50 bux. As far as a sump goes just get 3 glass pieces cut 1/8 of inch thick to make an over under over baffle system to eliminate bubbles. I just made my first sump a month ago for my 90 not to mention first time plumbing and everything is working perfect. U could make a very beautiful much healthier tank by piecing it together yerself. As for a skimmer id get a aqua c urchin, return pump maybe a mag 5...using a mag 5 plumbed into 2 or 3 returns would most likely eliminate the need for internal circulation pumps also....more money saved. Possibilites are endless compared to a pre made nano tank. | |
