Tank Recommendations?

[Wuzzo]

I have room for a tank 25 L x 18.5 W x 13 H. Any recommendations for a not too expensive tank? Thanks!

Categorize not too expensive? Getting into this hobby is expensive depending on what you are attempting to accomplish. I suggest looking for a used tank from someone that is getting out then you'll be able to get a great deal on a complete setup.

I mean "not too expensive" as in nothing insanely overpriced.

I already have an Evo 13.5. It was like 250.

Can you go a touch deeper? And grab a lagoon 25?

Innovative Marine tanks are 10% off right now, a Nuvo 20 will definately fit your dimensions but is barely a step up from the 13.5.

Is 3 inches hanging off my desk ok?

Also, is the overflow something that adds on to the size of the tank? Because if yes, then I can't get it.

If you don't mind laminating a few sheets of plywood together not a problem at all, I'll have to double check and see if those tank measurements include the external overflow or not, the regular lagoon AIO might be okay for you(Without the External overflow).

I haven't found anything about the overflow yet.

So I've discovered the EXT Dimensions do not include the overflow. The Fusion 25 Lagoon AIO is Exactly those dimensions so you could double up a 1/2" sheet of plywood under the tank and it will support the overhang off the desk. Not a whole lot of options without potentially going custom

I was researching and I'm probably gonna' get the Lagoon 25 AIO. If I do I will probably get it in a month or so. I found the AquaticLife EDGE LED fixture for the tank. If you found a different one for around the same price tell me please! I'm going to start planning live stock so I don't have to figure it out in the store like I do a lot.

I realized that the tank is way too heavy:( I may consider another tank with a stand.

Well that tank and almost all the other innovative marine tanks have there own stands you can order. Red Sea and waterbox are also other options. Waterbox having more smaller tanks similar to the innovative marines.

I was possibly considering a BioCube 32... Would you recommend them?

 

[JoshH]

Biocubes are great, I've never personally had one but there are tons of members here who have them and love them, the lights seem to be pretty lacking for certain corals and the hood can make it difficult to upgrade. Not a big issue but good to know going into it
