    So looking for something small, preferably no bigger then a 12x12 footprint.

    Would get a biocube 8gal if it wasn't discontinued

    So basically looking for options of AIO nano kits that are available. Basically just wannt keep some softies at work with maybe a small fish or something.

    Anyone know of any small kits? something like the biocube 8 or the nuvo nano 8. But don't really wanna spend over $100. Just something cheap I can have to amuse myself with at work.

    Thanks!

    You can get an Aqueon Evolve 8 for fairly cheap. Just need heater and you should be good to go. May need a small powerhead too depending on what you want for corals.

    IMO get a standard 5.5, paint one of the short sides black or white or whatever and put an AC70 on the painted side. For lighting, maybe a PAR30 or a small DIY kit?

    Innovative makes some beautiful Nanos, check out their line of products I think you will be impressed! I personally like that 16gal that looks like its hovering but that may be too big for your space, I think they make an 8 as well.
