Hey everyone, I'm in need of some help. I have a 24G Nano cube. completely stock. I am going to upgrade it ery soon with a skimmer and a lighting revamp. However I am unsure as to what is the best equipment on the current market. I was thinking about LEDS but dont really know the pros or cons versus metal halide. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Help me pick upgrades

i had one and if i were you and you want to keep this thing for a while, then i would go for a sump and an auto top off besides putting a skimmer on it. My pref for lighting was 400watt Mh because i was keeping clams and sps. the T5's are fine if you keep softies and they have a nice look especially the tek's. just my 2 cents.

I think lighting a 24g cube with 1 400w MH bulb is a bit overkill.
You can get a HOB skimmer and a nice T5 kit without breaking the bank.

i have the current 24g ap with the 20" current 6 bulb t5 light and keep sps as well, skimmers you really cant get a decent one till you change the lights. i would definately get a auto top off unit, stability and skimmer prformance will change with water level. what brand is the nano also, change factory return pump to a maxijet 1200 also. had a few nano skimmers and getting ready to buy the euroreef version read alot of good reviews
But this is the "Advanced Reefs". :lol2:
Those are not "good skimmer"!! I am sad to see you are not recommending a large twin beckett, modified to fit the nano.. :irked: Maybe a Barr 5000 series?

the tunze is junk in my opinion unless you can keep water level from changing at all.
