Here is another idea on the nanos tops. Black instead of clear. Look past the production rough draft. When it is finished sized it should look pretty sweet. Also notice the lid recess.

Perfect. Done. These will be standard sizes to be offered
Wow, I'm glad I could help! I would also suggest a 30"-18"-6", that's my absolute favorite measurement but they can be a little frail at times, hence the extra 2" in the top measurement. The lower height is a lot more visually pleasing to me though!

How about 2 strips in parallel along the length of the tank making a little channel such that a sheet of acrylic with holes in it ie. frag rack can be inserted into the channel and create a floating frag rack.

30"-18"-8"
24"-18"-6"
20"-20"-6"
All three are easy to pack and would scale well with one another.

Will these be rounded to fit?

The black could work on larger tanks for sure! But for littler frag tanks I feel like it's too distracting. I've seen several tanks with a neon colored eurobrace that looked pretty stellar.

I do not want to block light from the edges. Is there such a thing as smoked acrylic? Does smoked glass block a lot of light?

I've been curious about 'smoked' acrylic as well.

Yeah, it looked pretty great! The ones I saw were yellow, and really drew the eye. Other colors would work just as well, and the colored plastic was clear so you could at least partially see through.

Hello Reefers. Our last crowd source went very well and and the new Nanos are now available for sale >>> https://tenecoraquariums.com/collections/aio-nanos-view-all.

Special thanks to all who commented. Our next project is coming up with a new and improved Lagoon Frag aquarium. We already offer an extensive selection of these tanks and would like to hear from everyone what we can do better.

What are some ideal sizes? Depths? Lids required? Feature requests?

Below are some images to start the conversation. 3-2-1 GO!

REEFPOINT LOWBOY SHOW FRAG 30X24X6 CLR CLR.jpg

TENECOR FRAG AQUARIUM 96X48X14 LBLU CLR.jpg

86 the rounded corners. Not a fan.

I could see those being popular for show tanks. The wife would not like that in the living room!

Good morning Reefers!

Another beautiful day here in sunny Arizona. The images are not yet up but here is our first product. Special thanks to @Mr_Knightley and one of my advisory group members @tharbin for planting the folding EZ setup stand idea.
Here is a link to the listing. No images yet but is available for sale. >>>https://tenecoraquariums.com/products/reefpoint®-aio-lagoon-frag-aquarium-pak-n-go-18

The price includes everything. Stand. Tank, Pump, frag racks. Free shipping. But no lights yet. I have some really nice samples on the way and we will be offering them as an add on option.

Maybe it is already an option (or maybe I am the only one who wants this), but I like a black acrylic bottom rather than the clear.
Yes, we do these often. The idea here was to keep the cost low. As these products mature, we can always add that as an addition.

will the tank itself be available for purchase, without the stand or extras?
