thinking of starting a nano- costs?

you could think about doing a pico - 5 gallon tank, less of everything, easy water changes no skimmer, no powerhead, no ato , simple hob filter put a couple t5s on it, small heater, my tank has worked that way for over 6 years . My 5 gallon hasnt required much, while my other tank a 22 gallon has ATO/skimmer/powerheads/refugium/dosing...$$$.
