Ok, sine I really don't want to risk some major damage to my house and my parents cars, I have decided to live with my sumpless 50 gallon tank. I will, however, be doing some rennovations to it (new powerheads n stuff). I think I have gotten over the fact that I can't do what I wanted with it.

Also, I will be setting up a nano. I just cannot decide wether I want a 2.5 gallon, or the 4.5 gallon cube. I really like the cube design, and the total cost difference between the tanks is only about $15.

Heres how they would be set up-
2.5 or 4.5 gallon tank
AC 150 filter (overkill, but I already have it)
100w heater (also overkill, but I already have this too, it is only 3 months old)
.5"-1" sand bed
Coralife 2x 9w PC fixture
3 or 5 #'s of lr, depending (don't want to completely cram it with rock)

If I get the 4.5, eventually, I would add a clown goby, if I get the 2.5, I would get a peppermint shrimp, or something.

Help me decide
