    IM Nuvo 40 L vs IM Nuvo 50 Lagoon

    Hi, I am comparing the Nuvo 40 long and the 50 lagoon and cannot decide. I read one bad review regarding the Nuvo 50’s build quality and was wondering if this is something to be concerned about? I’m mostly worried about the quality of the seams and water leaks, not so much the pump failing. I...

    JBJ 65 AIO vs IM Nuvo 40 AIO

    I am debating between a jbj 65 rimless flat panel and an Innovative marine Nuvo 40 long which both are the same price and come with a stand. I don’t mind the aio and the fact that I don’t have a sump in either system. However, I read that some jbj aquariums glass have cracked in the past...

    So I'm going to give this build thread a shot. I'll start from the very beginning. I teach a kindergarten through 5th grade science block.
