    JD, hey buddy I would get like a 10 gallon nano and start that little puppy or even better I would do a very basic 20 gallon right now with no sump and when you move you can get your 75 set up and use the current 20 as your sump and you allready have good live sand and LR to start the cycle with!!!! That way you still have a little ocean in your place now. That is how I would do it but I hate to wait for stuff.
    good luck buddy keep us posted.

    I don't know about those cubes. I am a member on another forum and have heard lots of problems with then. I would just do a 10 or 20 gal long. Then you can later after the upgrade make it into a remote refuge or DSB!!!!!!!!

    Hmm, not that I don't trust you Joe, but I REALLY liked the idea of a all-in-one nano cube. Does/has anyone else have any experience with the Nano-Cube?!

    Thanks!

    I will warn you now and tell you I TOLD YOU SO later. Go look at NR or ABF in their nano forums maby one brand has a better record than others but if it was me I'd do a 20 long.

    Coralife aqualight worked great on my 10. set up an aquaclear 70 as a hang on refuge, a nice maxijet should get your flow, any submersible heater will work (I have had great luck with the metal Guardian ones.

    I think you've hit the nail on the head... nano now, big later! Greg's suggestion of getting a 20g and then using it later as a sump saves you money down the road! See??? Us crazy folks can justify spending money on just about anything!!!

    Yeah, I like the idea myself! Ohhh boy! I can't wait! lol... i'm heading to the lfs here in a minute to check out some stuff on them. I'm estimating a total of 500 or so for nearly everything... we'll see! Thanks for the input everyone, any more ideas are welcomed as well!
