Definatly a nice looking Minibow. Thats what I have and I love my Minibow.

Welcome to the best nano Forum on the net

Since you do have a Minibow check out http://www.minibow.com it is a very small forum but it's dedicated to people who have Minibows.

Yea the Minibow 7's are just a sharp looking tank. Something with a little more pizaz than your standard 10 gal.

Actually I like all the Minibows the smaller ones are just harder to get alot of light above.

FYI --- AGA now makes a Minibow 16 --- so there full Minibow lineup in the Nano sizes would be

2.5
5
7
16

And the sizes go up from there but then we are really talking a regular sized reef tank.

SOmething else I would like to touch and feel at a LFS sometime would be a AZOO Sweet Match --- I saw this in a mail order catalogue and it seems like a nice size for a Nano. I guess the real question would be:

If you stripped the guts from the canopy could it work for a standard HOB and a 2 x 32W reto kit. Also would it accomodate a fan. On day I'll see this in person and the questions will be answered.
