John- your tanks sound nice, would love to see some pictures!!
Just for an update, I ordered most the equipment needed for this tank last night.
skimmer- AquaC Remora
heater- 50W Ebo Jager
thermometer with suction cups
2 powerheads- Mini-Jets- up to 150gph
lights- I had a hard time with this part- ty Rob for helping me with lights. I almost bought a clip-on tank light, but it wasn't what I really wanted. Rob told me about aquatraders.com which sells cheaper lights made in china. Aqualights had exactly what I wanted- a 20"
MH fixture with supplements and a fan-

it does have moon lights, but I really don't care about that much. The
MH is 175W with 2
pc supplements at 24w each. I'm looking at 223w for my nano- I should be ready for SPS and clams. YAY!! They said it would come with a 20000K
mh, but I requested a 10000K, we'll see what happens- I can always change it out- but I do like blue so it might work out great for me.
I'll post pictures when I get it all setup.
