a painfully long thread at best, but if you have gotten this far, before taking on a project like this, make sure you do more research on starting a nano than reading a single thread like this. there is much bad information here and some good information. but in many cases theres all to much "opinion" when it comes to a poster asking for facts and the reverse can also be true. but any successfull reef tank will be had by the one that does his or her's research...
