Try at looking for something like this http://nano-cube.co.uk/ also try ebay loads of bargains to be had there

This is a pic of mine



any way you should introduce yourself in the appropraite section Who Are You ? - Digital World

also there are loads of marine site what you should look at here Reef Forums

quality looking setup there,wouldnt mind one myself but believe they are really hard to kkep

What are you selling and how much

if you ask me then nanos arnt worth bothering with as it would cost roughly the same for a 3-4 ft setup as it would for a nano.....if i was gonna start back up i would try and get a 4ft tank with cabinet....ebay is a good start as ive seen a few bargains go on there, but ive seen some junk go for some mad prices.....

it all depends on what you want to keep.......

if you dont know what equipment you will need etc...then have a good read on the first ....google ultimate reef and reefs uk .....decent forums with good advice.......

i would get a :

decent protein skimmer ( i used a tmc v2 400 skimmer)usualy one that will do twicw the water volume

refractmeter for measureing salinity

power heads for water circulation...roughly x4 the capacity of the tank

test kits.....(dependant on what you want to keep)

lighting....the skies the limit...but again depends on what you want to keep

live rock....1kg per 2 gallon of water volume

biological and mechanical filtration.....

sorry this is brief but im on my break at work and if i can be of help just ask..

oh and by the way they are no harder to keep than a fresh water setup...just more involvement and costs a lot more......
