Need 12g advice

[Martyg6]

My roomate sees how my tanks progressed and wants a nano tank of his own. He wants to be able to have a reef tank with anemones,lps, and sps corals. Which tank would be a good buy. I see The eclispe tanks at petco and i heard about the JBJ. Which would be good to get and which vendor should he go through???
Thanks for helping me out everyone.

light isnt sutable for SPS or anemones IMO in the jbj nanocubes (unless he wants a rock/flower anemone.. or Majano, or Aptasia) and light isnt suitable for any coral (i dont think in the 12g. Eclipse.. tell him to read upon here and www.nano-reef.com and to go with a 10g. tank with a 70w or 150w MH......... he wil need alot of flow for SPS

I wouldn't suggest he start with SPS anyways. He can have a great tank with LPS, and softies. Anemones shouldn't be added to a system before about a year anyways, not to mention they need more intense lighting then any of the above systems produce. JBJ 12 gallon DX IMO/IME is a great starter tank.
