Nano cube DX or aga bow 16g


I have been reading some reviews on the JBJ nano cube and I was wanting so opinions on setting up a nano reef. to start off with I have had SW tanks before all FOWLR never reefs. I am looking at the JBJ nano DX or a AGA 16g bow and I realize there will be a lot DIY for the 16g. I was want some opinions on what would be the better setup. I am no stranger to DIY I built my 45 long hood with two 36W PC with cooling fans. Thanks for all the help in advance.

I have the JBJ Nano, but not the deluxe. Mine is the version with fans though, which supposedly has better components than the earlier version. I'm very happy with it so far. My only complaint would be higher lighting to sustain some LPS (brain, candy cane, etc), however the deluxe version solves that con. I have no comments with the AGA 16g, but with the Nano I'd say virtually nothing would have to be changed to sustain most soft corals and some LPS. Maybe do the mini-jet mod to add more flow.

I have xenia which are doing great right now (see all kinds of little 'saplings' spreading throughout the tank) and just got some nice green/orange fiji polyps. Have two OC clowns, a cleaner shrimp and some hermits. Go for the nano, it's extremely simple and easy for a reef tank. I already want a 70+.
