Best Nano/Pico (5-10 Gal) All-in-One

[FishyFishFish]

I currently have a Fluval Evo 13 as my 'main' tank and a second 5 gallon Petco tank as a fish QT.

I need one more tank as a frag QT/Grow out tank and have been looking for a nice, small AIO for this purpose.

I have seen numerous 10 gallon cubes from the likes of Waterbox, Fiji, IM, Lifegard etc. They are all similar in size so presumably the main differences are price and quality. Are any of them better than the others or does it really just boil down to price?

The 10 gallon tanks aren't much smaller than my Evo 13 which I really like, so if going that big I could just get another Evo. However, ideally I would actually go smaller than this (I was really looking for a 12" cube) but I can't see much available in that size. The only ones I can find smaller than 10 gallon are the smaller Lifegard tanks, the Evo V and the UNS 30A. Does anyone know of anything else around 5-7 gal that would be worth looking at?

Thanks,

Aqueon edge lit cube...I picked one up from my buddy last week. Awesome little tank, no plans to use the silly lights on it!

You won't find a better deal on nano's for that size range than you will from the Fluval 13.5's. I have a waterbox 10, 3 13.5's, an Aqueon 10g, a UNS 7, an 18x18 cube, a 25G rimless low iron and a 6g AIO petco special (no idea of brand). The waterbox 10 is 170ish without light and powerhead. I like mine, but I've put nearly 300 into it, not counting livestock.

I loves the EVO's.
