I currently have a 25 gallon empty tank that I would like to set up a reef tank in.  I'm in the early stages of setting it up and I don't have any lights for it.  I was looking at Dr. Foster and Smith's magazine and I came across a 24 gallon nano cube (http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=10677).  The link shows the 12 gallon but I was thinking of buying the 24 Deluxe.  It runs for 256.98 including shipping.  Do you think it would be smart to buy the nano cube and have everything in one neat package or stick with the empty 25 gallon and mix and match pieces?  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated and I'm working on a limited budget.

I personally would go with the 24g Nano Cube but with the HQI hood upgrade. You'll easily spend this mutch building the 25. :)

So many species, so little money!
