Thinking of buying a nano tank. Was looking at the JBJ 28 gal nano. Is this a good setup? Are lights, filtration, circulation good? I have always had a skimmer. Is a pain to ad one? Better aquarium options out there? Should I just build my own?

An example of what can be done with the 28g NanoCube. It's among my favorites still - one I try to emulate and for many, a great way to start...
 
The little eshopps h75 works great with this nano if you have room out back. For in it's sump area, the bubble magus is fine.
Personally, I think the tank is too small for most fish and coral...
 
In the example I pointed out, the owner prefers KISS and runs no skimmer at all - weekly water changes plus an upgraded filter media rack keeps it as shown.

Well look what the cat drug in!! :lol: You guys need to stay home! I called you a few times!

On the nano, I looked at the JBJ myself and also looked at the the Oceanic Biocube with the HQI lighting OC-AOC36015 Premium Aquatics - OC-AOC36015 Aquarium Supplies . Was torn between the two then saw the CAD lights nano cubes and was even more confused. Scooty actually bought one of the CAD nano's and likes it. Here is a link to their website.

Krish, Leave the cat out of this. (do not make me post your pic in front of the Purple Penguin)
If I get a nano it will be for a zoa tank. Only fish may be a goby and shrimp etc. Just looking for some suggestions. This will not be my first tank. Just my first small tank.
 
Give barrier a call. They have a nice line of little cubes. Very affordable.

Overall I like mine. Only updated the media basket though should probably upgrade to maxi jet 1200s.
