NANO Tanks


reef

Recommended Posts

i set one up as a disply tank at The Animal Shack yesterday (no water just a disply for sale)

the lighting is T5 compact (well thats what they say they are)

the filter, skimmer, heater are all in the back.

the lights have a built in timer and then there is a multi box in the back of the tank so all the plugs are hidden.

so i think as an nano they are awesome and if i get one set up then you will have to come and see itfor your self...

"T5 compact" Can you get those lights over here in 10,000k and actinic?

One problem I found in building Nano tanks in New Zealand is the range of suitable bulbs in smaller sizes. In the states and Canada I can remember them selling quite a range of smaller power compacts, but here it seems to be either the standard sized T5's, or MH which get far too hot for a compact hood.

You can get the aqualina? range, brooklands has them.

The distributor needs to carry parts and spares for any item that they sell for a certain period of time according to certain acts. Whether or not said parts will be reasonably priced is a whole different story though!

I saw one of these when it just arrived at Hutt Pet Centre and needless to say the staff were looking forward to playing with it. Now all they need is a Marine section!
