In addition to my 55 gallon tank, I am looking at getting a second tank of about 15 gallons or less. I have looked at both Hello Reef and the Coralife AIO. Does anyone here have a preference between those two, or is there another AIO you would suggest?
Thanks!
 
Neither. Get the IM Nuvo 15. They are $99.99 and a great tank. I have one in my bedroom and just purchased a second one to upgrade my daughter into from her 4.8g Deskmate

Neat! I’ve never heard of this brand. I’ll definitely check it out!
Innovative Marine, they make great AIO’s from what I’ve seen. Hard to beat the price of the Nuvo 15 as well for a 15g. Just wish there were more stand options available.
 
Agree with IM Nuvo. I have their lagoon 25. Great little tank.

Love all the SPS. I’m about to upgrade my daughter into a Nuvo 15 from a Deskmate and the light I ended up with is entirely too much for a 15g. So I’m going to stock it full of sticks and see what I can get out of it.

I have had pretty good growth since I set this up a little over a month ago. I’m surprised actually. I wanted to see if I could do an acro/sps heavy nano successfully. Fingers crossed, but so far successful.
