Help pick a Nano tank

[KK's Reef]

1) Fiji Cube 20 Peninsula Pro

2) Innovative Marine Fusion Pro 2 20 gal

3) Innovative Marine Fusion Pro 2 Lagoon - 25 gal

Peninsula was the preference, but I like the build and look of the IM and the extra width of the IM lagoon.

IM25 lagoon, one of the best nano tanks out there

Yep number 3 if it was me . Your correct in finding the right tank now

I would go with 2. Though I just set up a little over a month ago a 20g Waterbox cube and have found it to be a really great tank. But, I picked 2 here because while I like the idea of a lagoon, I feel like it really limits what you can do and have far your corals can grow. But I like LPS/SPS. You can have a lot of fun with the right corals and fish with a lagoon tank.

I believe it was a Nuvo 40 Gallon. Had two DC Return Pumps, Filter Sock(s) a place in the back for a Heater, Skimmer, ETC. Didn’t like the Screen top though. I believe since my visit, he had a glass top made. Stand was very nice, I would have over-coated the paint, to make it more water proof.

Ya, I would go with the 25g.

I like #2 also, but it's only 1" inch taller than the lagoon. The lagoon has more depth, so I don't necessarily have to put the rock work near the back wall and can create balmie style aquascapes.

If they had made a stand for the Fiji Cube peninsula, I probably would go with that at my first choice.

#3, top view is always my favorite. I had one, but I prefer a sump and got a AA version of it with an External over flow. Get the EXT version if possible, you won’t regret it.

I like the simplicity of an AIO and 25 gal is probably the biggest I can do for the space.

Always I mean ALWAYS get the largest tank you can fit in the space because if you don't you will want to upgrade sooner.

3 Always prioritize getting the largest tank you can comfortably fit in your space because if you don't, you'll inevitably find yourself wanting to upgrade sooner, which can be both costly and time-consuming.

By the way, are any of you running Radion G6 Blues over any of your nano tanks? If so, what intensities do you have them on?
