Best nano tank for the money?

hi all... just trying to do some research, and was just wondering what your opinions were on the various saltwater nano kits

It depends upon a number of variables, I suppose, like size, what is going to be kept, etc. If you want my honest opinion on all the pre-packaged, all-in-one nano systems, I think they are all an awful waste of money for what they are. I dare say a rip off. If you take your time setting a nano up, a custom made one could potentially land you a bit cheaper cost wise and be much better than all-in-one systems. The only upside to most of them is that they are neat and somewhat self-contained--but you can do that too with time, care, and a bit of DIY and come out (again) with a nicer result. So my vote goes to piecing your own "custom" sytem together. I think you'll be happier with it.
