I just remembered the other that I was thinking of, but I guess it depends on your definition of nano-it’s Deep Sea Aquatic’s Neo Aquarium, but it’s 34 gallons. There’s another aquarium store that seems to put together these Nano packages with sumps and MH lighting, but I can’t seem to find the brand name of it…the way I recognize them is they always refer to something called CAD lighting-some of those have sumps too. Again, I love the idea.

Elos’ 20 gallon Mini has a sump

I hope that was okay to include, Eric…my apologies if it was a no-no.
I feel like I’ve seen another one too but I can’t remember where and also can’t remember which company made it, but I’ll keep looking around and see if I can find it. I love the sump on a nano idea!

@brandon

Individually no but in a bank of them will. Also, when you are driving them at near their max current, they can heat up so much as to damage themselves and drastically lower their life span. Having heat sinks and fans are necessary to keep them operating for the promised 10 years of life.

4 fans? Do the LEDs really put off that much heat?

Looks very interesting indeed, but I have to say that I very much prefer the new nano’s that are utilizing sump style filtration rather than the restrictive back-of-the tank filtration. If we could keep the LED’s and add the sump filtration, I’d love to get my hands on it. Do you think that lighting could support SPS corals, Eric? Thanks!
