BIOCUBE VS NUVO or something else?

[Schmitty]

So my 29g biocube started leaking and I need to get another tank, was looking at the 32 g biocube since it will fit on my stand but wondering if any of you have better suggestions without going to much higher then 40 for lack of space in my small apartment... I did notice the Nuvo 40g looks pretty sweet as well. Thoughts?

Innovative Marine tanks are awesome. For the size you're talking about, I'd suggest the 30L or either of the lagoons (25 or 50). I have the 40 and it's a little difficult to aquascape. I wish I had gone with the lagoon 50 personally.

I like the biocubes rounded corners-what's better about the nuvo?

It doesn't have rounded corners. You don't have that awkward corner shot where everything is magnified and can't tell what's going on. It's also easier to clean. If you're a fan of Biocube then go with what you know. They make a quality product.

The 11 gallon increase is really tempting and I just noticed they come with a nice screen top too... I might be jumping ship!

Will one Kessil 360W be able to cover the 40g tank?

Is it 90w? If so, that's plenty.

Do you have a link to your build?

Nuvo 40 dimensions are 24x 20x 19" give or take and Kessil 360W coverage 24x 24.
