In my opinion I would go with a Aqua illumination Nano. Great color and nice spectrum of light and you can keep sps without breaking the bank! About $300 bucks around here and you can keep your sps as well!

like this one!

I have a 30G JBJ rimless tank I set up almost a month ago now and my levels are good however I feel as though i need to add additional filtration the way the setup is now a sump is out of the question but I was curious about a fluval setup for additional filtration. If I add this will my tank...

I would go with the 125 and do 3 metal halide pendants. That should be more than adequate for any corals you want to keep. Lighting is where you do not want to cheap out. You can certainly use a couple of fluvals for filtration if you do not want to do a sump however I would paint the back black...

lots of live rock, live sand and a shrimp i used Prime supplement to balance all levels when adding the livestock, as well as 5g bi daily water changes as needed I added chaeto the the refugium and livestock and all corals are happy and healthy that is all we will be adding for the foreseeable...

So just wanted to update everyone! All water parameters perfect just added some zoas, mushrooms, Xenia, 2 small frogspawn heads, and a Duncan also upgraded the lights from the nano to the full spectrum Vegas and upgraded the skimmer size!

Did the shrimp day 1 I know about nitrates and nitrites as well as ammonia. Oddly though my years in the hobby I never had a pair of clowns... Odd huh tank has spiked and is coming back down to 0 now I would like to consider myself an "expert" but I learn more and more daily :-) in my past tanks...

I have set up a new tank about 2 weeks old now all parameters good still waiting another week before I add anything. Anyway I'm getting a pair of true Percs and wasn't planning on getting any corals yet. I don't want to overload the system so basically my question is is it ok to put the percs in...

Needing a little help here.. I am still cycling my tank and decided to go ahead and get a lighting controller, and a nice innovative marine protein skimmer. Attached is the photo of my issue i have really 3 compartments on the back of my JBJ tank I decided to place the skimmer in the middle in...

Sure miss the people here always fun and helpful looking forward to all of your input and who knows before long I may be back into a 300g reef Also as seen below day 3 of cycle nothing new to report :)

Soooo i've been gone.. well about 7 years out of the hobby but I just wanted to say I'mmmmm back!! :) the addiction grabbed me again. I'm currently in an apartment so large tanks like I used to have are kinda out of the question. I am setting up a new 30G nano reef. Working on a fish/coral list...

Love the tank!!!! Certainly brightens up the room

Groupers of all shapes and sizes!!

That's a great looking tank keep it up!
