    I am looking for a super small nano, less than 3 gallons, to act as a frag tank. I am heading off to school, but don't want to take my 10 gallon with me. I was thinking maybe I could make a small nano to house frags that I acquire during the spring. I will use the sand and small rocks from the ten gallon to seed the tank. What is the best nano setup to go with for under a hundred dollars? Is this possible to do? Thanks for the suggestions.

    there are lots of sites on the web that will customize one for you for a pretty reasonable price, you should look into that, or Aquarium Systems | PetSolutions this is a great site for these little systems

    Go to target and get yourself a small rubbermaid container or something of the like but the kind of clear ones! I have one of those running as a frag tank and is working pretty well

    Well guys and gals I decided to go with a betta instead. (stated in my ten gallon build thread) haha Exciting huh?!? ;D ;D ;D ;D I just didn't want to move a little salt tank around a bunch. A freshy tank is way easier to move.
