yes as title says i wanted to set up a small bta tank.....no sump just a small tank maybe like biocube or maybe even like these newer tanks in market rimless with open tops.....dnt know exactly know the brand but i think i hve spotted em out at elegant reef maybe nuvo or ecoxotic tank with standard led lights that comes with them....

would really like an input in this what to get and size....also this tank will be sitting in my room right next me where i sleep so no noisy pumps ...will pretty much try to depend on the stock pump that moves water unless i need another pump....size will be around may be like 9 to 15 gln or maybe little bit more if its ideal for bta with one clown fish...also tank should come with stock light preferably led lights...

I'd get the largest biocube possible. I think that's around 30gal?

Crushed coral bed, couple pieces of live rock. Stock return pump is usually enuff flow, but you could get a spinning return output to change it up a bit.

LED won't be required, but it'll look nicer.

I have 2 RBTAs in an 8 gallon nano, with 2 clowns. 75W MH.

BTW, for those that don't know me, do NOT attempt the above. It is and has been severely tempting fate for about 3 years now!
