Hey everybody,
Okay, with Xmas looming, I'm seriously considering setting up a little tank (nano). I'm no stranger to reefkeeping, but Im new to reefkeeping in the UK.
Please can you guys give me rough prices on a 20gallon system drilled with overflow and a sump, would like to have 1 x 150w MH - but T5's should be adequate, maybe 4 x 24w tubes, will run it without a 'fuge but will go with a biggish skimmer? (suggestions pls). Basically going with the standard Berlin system, will run barebottom with SEIO pumps for flow maybe but keen to try the nano streams... - will probably run the system on ZEOvit, used this before packing up my last tank...
Will probably start with zoo's and ric's plus the odd acan and micro I get my grubby little paws on(heads up! Will be looking for frags...)-> will see how long it takes till I start collecting SPS again... damn curse of those coloured sticks!
Potentially considering on of those little D&D tanks, the new nano's? Remember seeing STM had some great nanos but they're not around anymore from what I've seen.
Budget isn't big so let me know what you think my total spend would be including some great LR but minus livestock.
Thanks in advance http://www.reefcove.co.uk/forums/style_emoticons/default/thumb%5B1%5D.gif
