Help plz nano cube ?????

[combiemaster]

guys i am stuck in a dilema sorry about the spelling feeling sleepy. well my set up is as follows 20G, fiji live sand, 16 lbs premium fiji LR, biowheel 200, prizm skimmer, heater, rio power head, coralife 10,000k n atinic bulb with led's.
I went to the LFS and fell in love with the Nano 24G Delux but it has an oboard skimmer and lights which makes me feel like i wasted my money on lights and a skimmer (theres always Ebay) my livestock concist of 2 perculas, 2 damsels, 1 yellow tang, 1 hermit, one sea anenome and 2 turbo slugs.
its also that the nano look much cleaner than having all does things on the tank. PS if i do get it can it be possible to just put the 20G of this water and add anohter 4G to the nano and still call it a cycled tank
thanks for your help

Sure you can just save all of your old water and move everything over and add 4 more gals of water shouldnt take but a few mins to get the rock and stuff in there,the rock is your filter keep it wet,keep your biowheel wet at all times also it has bacteria to.

Just like Casey said!It's like doing a WC in a 24 gal tank.

i would only add, get rid of your old SB and get a new one. i would not waste the mone on LS, just get regular aragonite sand.

try and keep the LR in the same orientation. try not to put them in the new tank upside down. certain critters do not take well to the light and will die. this die off can cause a small cycle.

BTW-that is a lot of fish in a 24g tank. i would think about just keeping the 2 clowns and returning the other fish.
