New Saltwater Tank

[onevarez]

Hi all,

I am looking to set up a new saltwater tank. I want to get a tank that is smaller than 20 gallons and all in one. What is a good brand and affordable to get? I was looking into JBJ. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Omar

Check out innovative marine and waterbox nanos

Is innovative marine better than JBJ for all in one? @James M

Lot of reefers here like the Fluval Evo 13.5 gallon; $159 on Amazon

Is the light good in that tank? @Mikedawg

IMO yes. They are much higher quality than jbj.

The light is only good for soft coral but it’s tbe bare minimum

innovative marine hands down if your looking for a nano tank! but beware they are hard as heck to maintain if you are new to the hobby.

I would go as large as you can and get the 20 gal. It’ll save you headache with constantly having to maintain water parameters. I had the IM 10 gal as a frag tank and ended up taking it down.

I’m new to the hobby and have been cycling my IM nuvo fusion 20 for about 2 weeks now. So far it’s great. This is the first time I’m hearing that they are difficult to maintain. Do you care to elaborate? Thanks!

I had good luck with Acans, Duncans, Lobos and Symphyllia in mine. Hard to beat for the price.
