Nano Question

[RobbAdams]

Hey all, I have been doing a little research on these Nano systems, and it seems like a neat idea! I have a couple of small tanks I used for grow out when i was still keeping africans. they are probably in the 25 gallon range. I also have a couple of old aquaclears 500's I think, that I left in my folks garage, when I upgraded to the ehiem. With a filter as large as the 500 would I still need the powerheads? also what type of lighting would you reccomend? I would like to keep the price as low a possible, but would still like to keep growth reasonable. MH seems like overkill on a setup like this as these are shallow tanks, less than 12". I am not really interested in keeping fish, just some shrimp or something. Also where can a guy source some of those "Pods" (little critters that look like bugs crawling around in the bottom of my uncles tank).
