Nano Cube?

[wpayton34]

Im thinking of setting up a nano cube for reef. Is this all i really need to start up a reef tank equipment wise. Does it need more lighting or filtration??
The tank is 200 buxs is that a good deal??

with the lighting on that tank, you should be able to keep mushrooms, zoos and leathers. you may need to add an extra powerhead for circulation.
post in the nano section to see if anyone else has a setup like it. you may get more answers. welcome to the boards

I have a 24G Nano and love it. The lighting is adequate for soft corals(I have polyps,a beautiful finger leather coral, blue mushrooms and some soft tree coral). I have added another, smaller powerhead to the bottom,back left side to create additional current to help the corals. I have also added the new nano chiller from Artica. It works great!! Keeps my tank at a perfect temperature. That also requires a powerhead, which I situated in one of the compartments in the back. I clean my sponges about once every two months and replace the carbon monthly. The only problem I have with the Nano is that the model I have, you cannot leave it on a timer if you want to keep the moonlights on. It's either on or off for both sets of lights. So, what I do, is have it on a timer and I manually turn off the main lights at before going to bed and the moonlights stay on until 6am. Then waking up, I turn the main switch back on so at 4pm, my lights come on while I am at work. It's kind of a pain, but that is my remedy.
Any other questions, please ask! I have had mine for 11 months.
