thinking 20to40 ltr tank.went to marine tech today they gave me this site so here i am need to find best tank and system to go with it ,there were so many options 10yrs ago not quite sure what is best liked in todays reef tanks looking for advice. thanks

[SteveS]

theres some fantastic little nanos about, a google search will throw up some good ideas. the aquaones are good tanks, and the deltec nanos are great. plenty to think about at this stage, will the tank have a sump? a smaller tank below the main tank to house equipment? what would you like to keep in your tank?

Hi Shimmos, welcome to RC.

Nano's are great fun, I've got two, one Deltec 24g and an AquaOne 320 which is 7g and about the size you're looking at. Both are good but the AquaOne is really only suitable for soft corals because of the lighting :D

IME, the best thing is to sit down and decide exactly what stock you want and then build the equipment round that decision.

HTH and don't forget to ask away ;)
