Good nano tank?

[Travis]

Any suggestions on a good nano setup? I was looking around and I'm thinking like the Eclipse System Three or the Eclipse System Six.

The Eclipse Three is 12" L x 7-1/2" W x 11-1/2"H

The Eclipse Six is 16-1/2" L x 9" W x 14-1/2"

Any Ideas?

Do the 6, you will like it more, plus there are better lighting options for upgrades.

What would be a good watt per-gallon using PC in a 6 gallon nano? I'm thinking softies and maybe LPS.

With only 6g of water and space, you are not leaving much room for the aggressiveness of LPS. I would choose one of the other. Also, I hope you are making plans for what do properly do with them as they grow.

Nope, didn't think about it... Actually I'm still learning on the whole nano thing. Although I think this will be my next project, I'm not jumping in head first. I wouldn't fit :mrgreen: . The first step to a well built house is a good foundation...

Cool, some handy information for ya is that LPS corals can extend sweeper tentacles often up to 8 inches to sting surrounding corals to protect their territory. I would probably pass on them, although there are some soft corals that may stay smaller and be peaceful. When assuming corals will outgrow a small tank, I would make friends with a reputable sw LFS near you so that you can trade in frags. This will keep the corals small and help the hobby at the same time. :wink:

I have seen nanos with nothing but shrooms, ricordias, and zoos. They were stunning to say the least, with the mix of all the bright colors. Plus all three corals will do well under a canopy with a pc setup retrofited in them.

Thanks for the info!!!! Any ideas on watts per gallon of PC lighting?
