Planet Aquariums AIO

[Reefing102]

I did a search but couldn’t find anyone that seemed to have one. Had anyone bought or used the Planet Aquarium Tideline AIO? They seem to be a pretty good price with a unique return. Anyone have any thoughts?

My semi local LFS has them in stock (haven’t had a chance to look at them yet) but leaning towards a 31G for an anemone tank

I can’t help with the specific question but I can bump the thread to see if we can get you some attention

We were just in my LFS yesterday and they had several sizes of the Tideline AiO tanks. My wife was really digging the 62g and, I mean, who am I to say no to my wife? :D

The build quality and glass seemed to be on par with my IM AiO tanks and my buddy's Waterbox. The back chambers were well thought out and seemed roomy enough. I was debating between the IM SR60 and SR80 for my next tank (I have two IM AiOs now and love them), but that Tideline was cheaper, and looked really nice.

Awesome! I agree I was just at the LFS that stocked them on Friday and they appear to be pretty good quality.

Also, I believe the dimensions of the back chamber could allow for the Tunze 9001 Skimmer to fit in it

I just bought one today at my local shop. Looks to be a good tank. Will keep you posted.

I know this is an old thread but after getting a Tideline Lagoon 31 today I can say I am very impressed. I was looking around for an IM Nuvo Fusion 25 but the Tideline 31 is the same footprint with 25% more water volume. The fit and finish is excellent and I really like the way the return is done. The slip fitting into the return nozzle will make removal of the pump for cleaning really easy and the RFG nozzle is a cool touch.
Only gripe is the no-name return pump feels super cheap and I swapped it for a Sicce Syncra 1.0 that I had sitting around.

I have the 65 Tideline. Looks like they only made the 65 for a short time as they had a 62 already. Anyway, I am super happy with this tank! Glass is crystal clear and super heavy.

After living with this thing for a few days, the “filter sock” definitely leaves some room for improvement. It’s a mesh bag and preventing it from floating has been annoying.
I am designing and will 3D print a replacement holder to accept 2.75” felt filter socks which will be a much better solution. Happy to hook anyone up who wants one for the cost of shipping. Once I get my design finalized, I’ll post the files publicly.

Rhinos reef makes a 35 printed floss holder. I got a set. There is also another user that found a company that makes a media tower for the Tideline that looks super slick. May have to sift threw a few build threads ti find it.

Yeah, I saw that. I want to give these filter socks a trial to see how they do but if that doesn’t pan out I found the media basket. It’s made by Kreative Rides.

happy to report that the 2.75” filter socks work great! I’ll post the adapter plate on thingiverse in a bit and provide the link.

Looks great! I ended up getting a used Biocube 32 but always fun to have the informational posts

Can you send me that link please? These socks are impossible to find and having only 1 is a PITA.

Absolutely! I totally forgot to link it.

Any updates for this thread or Tideline AIO's in general?

I ended up going a different route. Got a 32 Biocube with stand for $50 locally just no light. It seems some people have them and like them though

Chimbo are you still making these adapters for the smaller filter sock? I have a Tideline 21.4 gal and so frustrating trying to find socks for these tanks.
