So far I have narrowed my search down to 2 different tanks:
24 Gallon Nanocube
24 Gallon Aqua Pod
29 Gallon Biocube
The price difference between these systems is minimal so I am not really concerned with this. Things I noticed. The Aqua pod comes in 64W and 150W. Biocube 36W and the Nanocube with 2 36 Watt lamps. I think I read that 3.5 watts per gallon of water for soft coral is rule of thumb.
That would seem to rule out the Biocube from the race. Both 64 watt systems would seem to be close based on this rule. I know all systems are different but I am trying to do as much research as I can so that I can make this work right.
As I have been looking through this magazine it seems the coral is rated via water flow. As a newbie to all of this, what range of pump matches up with the water flow requirements. Like a nano polyp pack requires moderate water flow. Is there some sort of gph ration that I can use to determine what I need?
Out of your guys and gals experiences, what is my best option of the tanks listed above and is my logic sound so far?
Thank you all very much in advance.
