Will is this a bit of a overkill??
15G Via Aqua
1/10 chiller
knop CA reactor
30G fuge ( trying to get enough pods for a mandarin)
20G frag tank
skimmer rated at 250G tank..

Is this alittle too much for a nano???

I would ditch the reactor.

You could sell it to a good buddy...Hint....:confused:

Uh, yeah, that's overkill. Just get a 60-80g and be done with it. this 15g + 20g fuge + 30g frag tank thing is just silly.

I would but the 15 is my daughters tank 30G fuge is for enough pods for a mandarin in a 15G ( any smaller and I'll run out quick ) 20 frag tank because I have lots of frags.. I know I should upgrade to a bigger tank but I got everything so I wouldn't have to buy more equipment when I upgrade..

15g mandarin tank is more trouble than it's worth IMO. Some firefish and a couple clowns are just as entertaining, but easier to maintain.

I have a clown already and know its not going to be easy but I think I'm going to try it.. Don't worry I'm not going to stay with a 15G for the rest of my life and I have the equipment to start a bigger tank anytime.. Don't worry Jess like every week I get something new so this is just an idea but I might try a bigger tank ( 30G cube )....
