Nuvo 20 or WB Peninsula 25?!

[js_marra]

Looking to the community to tip my decision one way or the other. Looking to get a nuvo 20 or waterbox 25. I like the waterbox since it is a bit bigger but the sump is smaller due to the fact it is on the side than along the back like the nuvo. The nuvo provides more horizontal space while the waterbox provides a bit more depth and height. Both are $299, although the waterbox does not include a lid or media baskets like the nuvo does so would require more for the WB to make it better. Looking for thoughts to help me decide! thanks!

I’d get “more bang for my buck” if it’s a budget build

hard to say which that is. If they were the same size, definitely the nuvo, but the waterbox is slightly bigger by 5g

I’ve hear great things from waterbox.

I originally wanted another Red Sea but after reading threads, I may go for the waterbox

I have heard the same. Innovative marine offers great package deals iwith their tanks including mesh tops, media baskets, etc, but waterbox quality is frequently praised

Which one did you decide? I’m literally looking at both rn too as another tank.
Thanks!

Here’s my Nuvo 20. Wouldn’t pick anything else for a 20 gallon
