NUVO starter kits vs. NUVO Fusion Pro 2

[jacqueline1989]

I was planning on getting a IM 25g lagoon tank but unsure whether to get the starter kit or the fusion pro 2? The starter kit is like half the price, so is the fusion pro worth it? From my research the only main differences is that the pro tanks have the mighty jet DC return pump, custom caddy, the adjustable water riser, and the pedestal. I don't really care about the pedestal so it's not a big deal whether I have it or not. Any insights?

I wouldn't get the pro. I don't use a caddy, the pedestal is meh. The only thing appealing to me is the better Mighty Jet return pump.

I too didn’t care for the riser, so I went with the normal one, I got the JBJ add ons for the strainer, I also went with the normal one because I had a Nero 5 and hydra 32 laying around so I got the axis return pump for it. And that’s my set up. The hardest part for me was fining a stand later for it when I moved it from a desk to my dinning room

Like so many I was inspired by Drew’s lagoon for this tank.

I went with the standard one. The only thing that I really wanted was the pump. I ended up with the jebao-1500
