Stupid newb question here. As some of you are aware, I'm planning a 14g nano cube measuring 15"x15"x15". A true cube :evil_lol: . I know with nano reefs that skimmers are "debatable" and have no wish to open that can of worms. I also understand that my filtration is in the LR. However, that still doesn't stop me from asking, would running a canister filter with just sponges (like a C-160) and cleaning once a week be a good idea or no. I know that canisters can become nitrate factorys but is that risk eliminated from regular cleanings?
Oh, on other question, I'm building the tank myself so what would be a good size for the glass without going overkill?
Current plans.
14g nano-reef cube
15-20lbs of LR
2 Koralia Nano powerheads
1 100w Stealth heater
21 LED array with a mix of Royal Blue, Blue and 6700K (supposedly, I think its higer) LEDs.
I'm tempted to start the construction on the tank, then from there get parts slowly (already have the heater) untill its complete.
