I was thinking of the same nano cubes a couple of weeks ago.

I didn't buy one but instead picked up a used 37 gallon tank, stand and MH light. It cost less and it's so much better.

I don't have the space for a big tank. Also, I believe that the bigger the tank the more expensive it is as more live rock and live sand are needed among other things. I would like to have 3 or 4 small fish with hardy corals that do not require lots of light.

I have been reading lots about how to set up a nano and apparently it is possible to have a beautiful lookingnano without using a skimmer. The filtration owuld be done with live san, live rock and weekly water changes. Is that true?

cheers

i did a 10gal nano with no skimmer and only 2 clowns, 4 snails, live rock and some corals and did weekly water changes. i fed very little and still you get the macro algae growing quite good eventually. after that i would recommend a skimmer. just my opinion though

You shouldn't need to spend any money on mods for the BioCubes. I have one on my front counter and it's pretty damn sharp...

are you using a skimmer? how big is your biocube? what kind of fish do you have? cheers
