Yeah im from The south coast. I have kept a nano in the past but had to shut it down due to work commitments and eventually replaced it with a 125g reef - how does that work I hear you ask??? I actually found the nano hard work. I would use a skimmer but thats just my opinion - as previously stated the hardest thing is finding an effective one that is not mega pricey! good luck i look forward to seeing the pics of this!

Thanks. I can't wait to get it up and finished with the cycle. You don't know a reply to either of my questions do you Steve?

Also, what do you think of this?

Yeah id love to buy one now but me and friends are doing a last min deal so I have to keep money for that. Good idea though by the time your back off your hols you won't have too much waiting around todo, have you found the stand any cheaper than £69.99?

Ooo. Not going too off topic. But where are you going? I haven't found one cheaper.

Nano Aquarium Stand with door :: Marine :: Aquariums, Tropical Fish, Marine Fish, Pond Pumps and Aquatics.

I'm not even sure if that is the one that goes with it..but it says so on the site. I will ring them later though.

It helps if your keeping corals other wise you can use any good salt mix and save a few coins to boot
