New to nano

[DaneGer21]

13yrs in the saltwater hobby but have never built a nano. With a new baby in the family, literally, I’d like to start a nano/pico in her room.

What’s a good nano/pico tank? Should I go AIO? Is there a complete kit?

Just want to keep zoas, mushrooms, etc etc, Nothing fancy. Wanna keep this as a budget build. Live rock and sand will come from my current system so no need for a complete cycle.

Any recommendations would be great!

Thanks

If budget is the priority, then go with an Aqueon standard 15 gallon/2 foot tank, an Aquaclear 70 filter (fitted with tube input sponges so you can easily rinse them daily...look on Amazon), a thingamajiggy light (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Newest-Noo...-Reef-Aquarium-SPS-LPS-FOT-Lamp-/263962502044), an Ehiem Jager Heater. And the rest, well you already have it.

I wouldn’t say budget is necessary a priority, but, with already having a large display we don’t need to go crazy with this little nano. Haha (I say that now!)

Thanks!

Check out the Fluval Evo 13.5gal.
Great little setup right out of the box and with a few inexpensive “tweaks”, you can have a nice little tank for the babies room.

Take a look at the price I itemized on building out my little 14 gallon cube (on my build thread) and you might reconsider! LOL
