nano tank Help

[chrisb430]

Thinking about doing a nano tank but not sure what tank setup to get. They have biocubes, nano cubes, and Eclipse System. Any pros and cons?? which system do you like best?

I have a JBJ 12-gal nano, and things were fine until my fans started going out. Other then that, I like it. Just wish now it was bigger, but isn't that always the case?

We have an Eclipse (Plug-n-play system) at work, and I HATE,HATE,HATE it! It's very noisy, the lights and fan frequently act wonky, and it's acrylic, which I dislike.
Maybe ours is just a "lemon", I've heard other people say they love theirs, but I personally would never own one.

My son has a 14 biocube. It is very easy to take care of and stays very quiet. Everything is built into it. ...easy

I have a 5 gal regular tank, I like it because i can add the things I want to it. The big thing is my new t5 light fixutre that is coming that i cannot wait for.
The biocubes are nice as well, many people modify them though whick defeats the purpose of plug and play IMO.
The other downfall of them is their lights, don't get me wrong I have PC running on my current tank but they run hot and don't last very long. I have also heard there have been lots of issues with the fans on them not lasting long.
So there are many options for you, take your time to make sure you get what you want and the size you want too.

I picked up an "Eco cube" which runs a 150w MH over 24 gallons of water. The temp even with the light on, a heater in the tank and 2 #1 koralia's never goes over 78 degrees. It has everything in the back, has no rim and is 18x18x18. Includes 2 built in power heads, a skimmer, room for a little refuge in the back and uses an overflow system. VERY quiet.
