    Hi guys, ive been wanting to set up another tank, but this one i want to set up at college.
    since they only allow a 10G max for a room, i found this 6G tank at Fosters and smith.

    so the main question is if the tank has everything im going to need to set up a mini reef.

    Are the lights included enough to keep any type of coral/anemone/clams?

    if anyone knows of a place where i can get a better deal please post it here so i can see. ( i can probably push the tank size to a 20G but not sure yet if im going to want to spend the money) Ive been thinking on searching craigslist as well. Not in a rush. as i still need to get the money which might take a while with everything im spending in college as of now. but i want to have a list of everything and a budget.

    so here is the link Nano Cube Reef Aquarium Kits: 6, 12 & 24 Gallon Nano Cube Aquariums

    I like Aquapods and Bio Cubes better as far as quality goes.

    There's BioCubes in both 14g and 9g sizes. You can buy them nearly anywhere; marinedepot and fosterandsmithaquatics both have them, but I would throw "Oceanic BioCube XG" into Google and check out Google shopping for a good price.

    I forgot to mention that i kinda wanted to have maybe a pair of clowns on the tank ( thats about it) is a 14g enough? liveaquaria says 20G.. but ive seen people keeping them in 10g tanks not sure if thats suitable.
