Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

[Magellan]

I need to name my fish

LOL that’s half the fun of having fish! I have Laura and Mini-me (clowns), Fiji Girl (damsel), Bruce (6 line) and The Night King (blenny).

I even named some of my freshwater fishes.

There’s Steve Irwin the Plecostomus, Whiskers the upside down catfish, and Big Purple Shark. (He’s a big purple shark).

 

[Why-Me]

Wondering if I bite the bullet and get one of those nuvo 25 lagoons for a new frag tank. The 10g is my baby and I love it. It's main purpose is to keep my frag purchases to a minimum every month.

Butttttt.... Things are pretty crammed in there and I think a more formal system would be best long term. There are also some ugly frags I want to take out of my tank.

Has anyone ran one of those AIO nuvo tanks?

I've seen a few of these set up they look nice, especially for the price; and the option of hob fuge.

That second picture is inaccurate, the traffic is worse now ;)

I have a couple Nuvo 10s they are pretty nice. As far as I know Innovative Marine was discontinuing the 25 lagoons though...

They are on sale on brs right now. Now is probably the best time to get one.

The dimensions are great for a frag tank at only 11” high. $300 is a good deal.

Agreed, that's probably the best deal you'll find on one of those new like that.

Why buy new if it’s for a frag tank?

I'd grab one, I know that mighty jets don't have the best reputation but it will it be good enough to get you going Sicces or Ehiems are usually the best bet long term for these tanks...

Uhmm cause new is awesome? ;)

If someone has a used 25 lagoon I’d buy it! I don’t mind buying used as long as everything is in good shape.

I got my 28g used for $125. Saved me lots of money to spend on water changes ;)

The last time I got a used tank it was an absolute beating.

Tanks are kind of the one thing I feel like you should buy used.

I always buy 2nd/3rd hand. It's the only way we can even remotely afford the hobby.

My used tank ended up costing the same price, if not more, than a new full tank set up.

That’s mostly on me though.

We've been super lucky. Only had one powerhead go out after a month.

I’m all about used hardware. My hydras work great.

The controller for my jebao return pump s**t the bed after using feed mode 3 or 4 times.
