I'm thinking of getting into a nano tank. Possibly the 12 gal nano cube, maybe the DX version of that. I also have looked at nanocustoms and they have some modded and upgraded nanos you can get from them. I haven't thrown out the idea of a standard 10g with a 96 watt coralife on it as well.
I am leaning towards the 12g nanocube, just because i think it looks cool. I have read through and researched on here, but as always, opinions differ. My other tank is a FO tank, no live rock, but i'm thinking of a reef tank here, live rock , live sand, etc.... will the 48w dx provide enough light for what i'm wanting to do?
Can someone lay down a guestimated pricing list on items that i will need to accomplish what I am wanting.....
(i.e.)
12g Nano Cube DX $???
10 - 20 LR $ ???
10 LS $ ????
etc.....
Thanks for any and all help.

Rogue, thanks for the reply, do you have a current pic of your cube so i can see roughly what i would be getting?
What lighting option do you have? the dx 48 ?

What do you think about the nanocustoms modded 72w version? Would that be a good choice over the 48 or would the 48w be enough? Thanks. :)
