It really all starts with good filtration and nutrient export. The advantage/disadvantage to a nano tank is if you make a mistake it can be correctly easy, but on the other hand it is not as forgiving when it comes to water quality due to the small volume. The all in ones are great for someone just looking to get in. Check out the nano and bio cubes. Another nice feature of nano aquariums is it is much easier to keep track of those small creatures like shrimps and different crabs. I currently have a 20 gallon nano with a peppermint, pistol, skunk cleaner and anemone shrimp living together. Some of these creatures would be impossible to find in a 180.
