    I have a 10 gallon nano. Feel free to check out my pics. If you do decide to do one, I suggest you make some sort of auto top off for it because it looses water pretty fast when I have fans on it and SG can go up .002 within a day easily if you don't watch it. I think once I upgrade I will keep it as a frag tank or hospital/quarantine tank.

    go the nano reef, im doing a 10G at the moment, you can check out my site to see how i've gone about it. 10G nano's can be done with a hippie approach, no chems, no aggressive filtration. - top offs can be a problem, but I leave the lid on mine and only top up once every 3 days or so with a cup of RO water.

    you could put a catalina goby in it. they look really cool but require colder temperatures.
