Office Nano?

TacoKing · 05/31/2007, 08:55 AM

So, I'm thinking of setting up a tank in my office again. I had one setup 5 years ago at one of my other jobs, but over time I became lazy and the tank started to suffer. It was one of the original JBJ 12's with no skimmer and just standard lighting. This time I want to do it a little better and I'd like some recommendations from the nano crowd, as I'm a big tank guy..

With it being an office tank my main concerns are temp control and evaporation.. At least those were the issues I hit with the other system. So, to make this one a little more fail safe I'd like to encorporate some sort of auto top off and possible a small chiller. I also want a skimmer on this system. I'd like the ability to go 2-3 weeks with out a water change, so skimming would be pretty essential. As far as corals this will be an LPS/softie tank. Lots of ricordia, lobophyillia, a few mushrooms, zoos, acans.... That type of tank.

So the questions are.. Are there any "complete" nano systems out there that might fit my bill? I'd like to stay under 24gals. I like the false back of the JBJ's; should be able to retrofit some sort of auto top off in there and chiller, but the size is pretty limited for a skimmer; is that nano fusion really even worth it?

Thanks for the help/ ideas.

Sounds like a trip to NanoTuners.com will fill the bill.

Yea, for an all in one office nano, they would be the hook up, as long as you don't mind paying.

I took the other route an got the AP24, and am really enjoying modding it myself. Plus I am going to run open top.
