Best nano

[Proteus]

I am looking into nanos and want to here from those who already own them.

I am looking to set up a zoa garden. I have found a few edges for a good price but want to be sure I buy what I need

[nozwal]

ok so whats your questions ?

[Proteus]

Which are good which are bad. I'm Pretty sure there are models that are not to hot. What do you nano peeps prefer

[nozwal]

how big of a nano in gallons do you plan on getting. there are a lot of nano brands, edge, fluval, oceanic, biocube, Red Sea Max... etc. i say its up to you for the design of the tank. which ever one you like the most. personal i like cubes for nanos. and i like the ones with chambers in the back of the tank. and i prefer acrylic over glass.

personally for a nano I prefer not to buy a complete setup for LFS. just buy a tank you like, then buy each individual equipment you need, heater, powerhead, lighting skimmer.

I was planning on less than ten gallons. I would prefer shallow and wide it's only to house zoas and maybe two fish max

I thought of just doin up a 10gal tank and buying the extras. But thought I can get a edge with all I need for 100 bucks. Might be worth it.

i think the brand fluval has some nano that are shallow and wide. to be honest a tank that small wont really matter wat brand is better or wat not. just find one you like and a good price for it. your main concern is the equiqment you need to buy after the tank.

A 8-9 gallon would be your best bet, but with that small of a size with zoe and 2 fish, you will be good husbandry to make it work.

[nozwal]

could you tell me the specs of the Edge, what it comes with and the lighting

[Proteus]

It's 6.6 gallons led light and 100 gph 3 stage mech,chem,bio filtration.
