Fluval Evo 13.5 vs IM 14

[CD_Scapes]

Really just curious what y’all think about the two tanks. Basically the same size and stuff but the IM is 2x as much. Would you say it’s really worth it in the end?

No, stick with the Fluval. There are just so many pros over the IM, ie: integrated light, lid, you can hide most of the unsightly stuff in the cover in the back, etc. The Fluval skimmer is also halfway decent and many reefers have great success upgrading to a different pump and the InTank media and refugium baskets.

Have no experience with the IM but do have the Evo. In my relatively short experience in the hobby I'm thinking that most standard items that come with these AIO tanks gets upgraded eventually so go with the cheapest option. With my Evo all I have left from the original package is the glass box! Lid gone, light gone, pump gone.......
