Just a regular power filter with fresh carbon and weekly water changes would be great.

if you have 1-2LB of lr per gallon your filter can be very very small and your tank will be fine.. Get LOTS of biofiltration.

i just use the fliter that came with it and about 30# of lr, seems to do just fine.

Seems like the Aqua Clear brands are pretty popular with lots of Nano owners......as they have a nice large filter chamber to make into a refugium.....I use a piece of fine foam (30 micron filtering size) which is used to polish the water, and let the actual filtering process get handled by the liverock and sand......I sometimes hang a bag of activated charcoal or most recently have been using Purigen in a mesh bag hung in the pump inlet chamber......works great.

I just have the stock sponge, and carbon (I will change carbon about every 6 months).
Other then that, 12Lb's LR and 20LB's LS.
I will be adding some LR slowly (hopefully about 1-2 LB's at a time

Fill the bak with live rock and live rock rubble, natural is the best way to filter!! I have it on my 12 gal nano, has worked awesome for about 6 months!
