i have had my nano cube delux up and running for two months now. it comes with 2- 24 watt 50/50 compact flor. lights. i changed the pump from a 106gph to a 317gph and removed the chemical filtration. added about 2lbs of lr in the filtration compartment. i have about 15lbs of lr and about 3" of sugar fine sand in it. six corals, 9 snails, 7 crabs and a clown fish. i do 10% WC weekly and it seems to be doing well. the corals do grow fast you will need to frag or have another tank you can move them to. go to my blog or the nano build off if you want to see some pics of it. if you are looking for something simple, self contained and clean looking it's a nice little tank. if you are planning on a sump/fuge and skimmer. i would go with a reg tank set up.
