Best 24 gal nano?

[bamaboy333]

I have all but decided what i want in my nano, and it will require the 24 gal minimum. I was wondering what everyone thinks is the best option? Nanocube, Aquapod, cadlight, red sea max. I also hear that a lot of people like running theirs with the lid off, so that would make me lean towards a tank only and buy the setup seperately. Just looking for some experience stories, so i hopefully wont make a mistake that could have been prevented from someone elses experience. Any info would help lots.

If your looking for the top of the line I think looking at Finnex and Cadlight
would be your best bet. These are top quality set ups with lots of major features. They also have several sizes available that are in excess of 24 gallons.

Have you looked at the Solana? Its a bit larger than what your looking for being that its something like 34 gallons. I have seen a number of these and they are definitely first rate tanks with excellent features. I personally would be all over one of these if I had room for a cube style tank.

Another consideration, although I am not yet ready to endorse them yet, but they might rate checking out, is Truvue Nano AIO's. These are fairly new in their line up. While Truvue isnt especially known for thier "high quality" I have a couple of their standard tanks in the past and have found them to be rather servicable. This new line of AIO's they are now featuring look as though they might be promising and they have a 25 gallon you might find acceptable for your needs. I am planning to buy at least one of the 25 gallon versions and size it up in the not so distant future. It will be replacing at least one of my currently set up 10 gallon Nanos. If all goes well I will be replacing several of the 10 gallon SW reef tanks I currently have set up.

Based upon what I have personally seen and owners I have talked to the first three links are highly recommended. The Truvue is something that you might want to just research and possibly considering before making your final choice.
