How nano are you looking to go? I don't have much experience at all and am fairly new. But, I've had good luck, in my short career..lol...with my BioCube. I know they come in 8, 14, & 29g. They seem to come with just about everything, outside of heater and skimmer and seem to be fairly self sufficient. I know there are some other brand names that also make the "all inclusive" too, like Eclipse, I believe is one of them.

I have had my nanocube for years, and still love it. I have gone through three larger tanks, but still use it. They come in 6, 12, 29 I think.

My BioCube 14 works great! I've had running for 8 months now. Works well as is and can be modified to meet certain needs.

I love my nanocube.

I'd rank the top three this way:

1-Biocube
2-Nanocube
3-Aquapod
