Getting back into the hobby. Needs help!

[FishNutzBoi]

I had been in this hobby for more than 2 years before I had to sell my 110G setup because I had to move to another city for college. I wasn't planning to get back into it until I graduate but I just can't resist this wonderful hobby!

So.. I want a nano tank for my dorm. I have never had a nano reef setup before so I'm going to need ALOT of help and advice on what to buy, how to take care of it and such. Here is what I have in mind right now:

1. I want a setup just around 10G (can be a little more or less) due to the space limit in the dorm. I was thinking of either the 14G BioCube or the 12G NanoCube. Which one would you guys recommend? Or is there another setup that's better?

2. Im going to keep GPS and shrooms mostly since SPS require too much care and softies are a pain and could crash the tank easily since its too small.

3. Im going to have 1 percula clownfish and a few shrimps, snails, etc

4. I plan to mod the setup (whichever 1 you guys recommend since I have no experience with any of them) a little bit such as taking out the filter media that come with the setup and add more natural mean of filtration in such as liverock and MAYBE macroalgae if I could figure out how to get light into the filter. Any other mod ideas will be greatly appreciated!

That's all for now I think.

Help!


Thanks in advance!!!

Current USA Aquapod 12 might fit your needs if you want an all-in-one. Better stock lighting than the JBJs...
