1. If you were buying an AIO reef tank today which brand would you choose and why?
my first was a Cobalt 26g AIO, it cracked all the way down the side after 4 months-lost everything. Had to do a quick replacement that day so bought another one-because I had the stand & equipment. But didn't really trust in it after that. So I looked at all different tank styles. Didn't want just another rectangle, considered the IM lagoons because of the lower height but finally chose the IM 30L. And I love it. Easy to take care of, I can actually reach everything with having to stand on something. All IM gadgets (Skimmer, UV etc) fit. For me it works great.
2. What do you like and dislike most about "all in one" reef tanks?
Wouldn't say don't like-wish I had a bit more display width. Although when I show pics to LFS they can't believe it's only a 30g tank.
