Nano tank which to get

[Melt]

Hi looking to start a nano tank over the holidays. I am in the market for purchasing 15g range. What’s a good brand/ tank and why.

I'm a big fan of my Fluval Evo that I got a few months ago. It's great because it's super customizable with the 3 filter chambers on the side. There's a pretty large online community for others that have one to give you ideas on live stock, aquascape, filter media, etc. The only advice that I would give is to get one used, you're more than likely going to upgrade a part or two to suit your needs and there's no point in paying full price if you're not going to use the stock components. Personally, I upgraded the lights, top, filter media, and pump.

This is actually a pretty good deal. More gallons than the fluval and arguably a better build quality. I would go with this

I have the 26g C-Vue. Lots of things you can do with it. I'm working on clownfish breeding but its a GREAT AIO for soft corals and basic stuff.

Ok reefers. I made my decision I just order the 15g AIO. Now I will use this post to build the close to perfect nano tanks. What skimmer if any, lights, salt etc. should I get the cover for it or leave the top open. I have been out the game for over 10 years. So I need each and everyone help and advice

For the money, I jumped on it as well.

Ok I got the tank and the stand is coming on Monday. Next what light Al prime? I notice a lot of reefer using them. Pro and con.

I love the ai prime. I have three of them. Very easy to program and extremely user friendly

I was shock to see that Ecotech make all the parts and have a hand in Ai prime

I originally had the Noopsyche 60w light, it was very simple with only blues and whites but fan noise was too much. I then went to there AI prime and I am happy with the light.

I sold it a while ago

I believe they are shipping now within the USA so much easier to get within days
