Solana

Solana - Aquarium System | Current What's Next,

Red Sea Max

Red Sea MAX | The complete coral reef system

JBJ

JBJ-USA Aquarium Products

Marineland Eclipse

Our Products

Those are the top picks amongst the Nano selection.. As previously stated, Solana and Red Sea Max are usually on the top of the list. With JBJ following very close behind and Eclipse systems bringing up the rear. There could be more nano brands (or knock-offs) out there, but remember, "You get what you pay for" goes a long way in this hobby. Not saying things should be overdone in terms of equipment.. But the reason the above listed brands have risen to the top is because over an extended period of use, people find them the most reliable, worthy investment which also have great expandability options. Overall, its really just personal preference that will lead you to your final decision. Make sure you research plenty on each before purchasing. Make note of the differences with each and isolate the pro's vs con's then decide and buy away!

Keep in mind that if you get the RSM250 there is a good chance you will also need to purchase a chiller! ^

I have a 14gal Bio Cube and have not had any issues so far. I have had it for almost a year.

But from what I am seeing I may need to upgrade the lighting if I am to have coral and clams in it. Does anyone know if that is true?
