setting up of nano reef..help needed!

[jOwy]

hi guys. im new to this hobby and currently thinking of setting up another 2ft tank in my room. was juz wondering, should i get one with a sump built inside the tank or a external canister filter is good enuff?

my livestocks wud be limited...juz a couple of clownfishes thats all. but wud be keeping corals such as leather, bubble, sun etc

i hav a 2ft tank currently. it has a sump built behind the tank. one thing i dun like is that it makes the tank abit unslightly with the sump part painted blue and the sump makes the tank much narrower in terms of the width.

so im juz wondering will an external filter be good enuff for a nano reef tank. also, is there ani small external sump available for a 2ft tank? most sumps i see that is being sold is at least 2 ft.

[xersion]

there is 2ft sump in the market.. but canister will be a good choice for a 2ft tank...

[w3ish3ng]

i would suggest with sump. afterall with higher water volume, it will be more forgiving..

where can i get sump for 2ft tank? is there like a 1ft sump etc?

I think yr tank is so call IOS type, is good because u can change the filter wool anytime without disturbing the media....

Get red sea max, promotion in Aquamarin. I am regretting because with their promo price I will not go for JBJ Nano Cube. Now ichi to upgrade everytime I see the RSM.

nothing actually..

just change abt 20% water every fortnight....

try looking for at least a 2nd hand prizm skimmer if u have a budget constraint.

[jOwy]

haha i dun tink i can afford a redseamax. haha juz a poor NSF here. lolx. hmm. so its ok if i use a hanging filter but just do frequent water changes? so i guess a canister filter is ok?

ani1 noes how much ist to custom make a small sump tank? prob 1ft.

[reeftask]

why dont you use both sump and canister? settled?
