I met this guy in NYC that makes small nano's for his hobby, the tank itself only cost $100 and that was with me telling him what I wanted in the tank (1" dual drains, black background, ect...) not a bad deal, but since then his popularity has picked up and his prices have jumped, I think you can get the same size and shape nano like mine for $150 now... still not bad, but I'm sure NAGA can build you something better for the similar price.
Yeah thank to you JP, I have spray painted almost everything in my system so you can't see the eggcrate and PVC in my display... if you look close at the pics the neon green candy cane and frog spawn, algon with the Green cap in the middle, and the Kenya tree in the left corner are supported by eggcrate.
ummm... why should the big tanks get all the nice equipment... here is something I had to be very careful in connecting to my system... now I have a aqua lifter on a minute to minute 12 setting digital timer driping kalk at night when the main lights go out...
