Where did you get your tank? I am looking but not really seeing much in the way of 33 gallon longs.
AIO vs standard

I am not sure where he got his but if you have a LFS that sale tanks I bet they can get you one in.
also try petco/petsmart
also check out the nevo 30 gal black. does not work for a peninsula but is a nice size tank if you dont want a 40BR

rimless to!
For what it is worth my nuvo 10 stock pump is not loud and it is in my very small living room in my very small apartment so if it was loud I would know!
The first two days we had the tank the pump was so so so loud. It gave me a bad headache. I thought maybe it was air bubbles that would go away. Then I stuck my hand in the back and voila - the magnet from the jebao wavemaker had fallen and stuck to the pump.;Blackeye

good to know if I do get the IM 20 i'll give it a break in period and watch the PH magnets. glad you figured that one out!
supersized there not a lot of info on these tanks. i thought they would be more popular option.

I used 1 AI Prime at one point, then I used 2 AI Primes, and now I have a 150w Metal Halide over it. I really like the halide, but miss the LED affects [moonlights, sunrise/set etc.]
I'm upgrading to a 55 gallon which is getting my metal halide, and i'm going back to the stock lights/top with a zoa/softy tank in a month or two

well I have it narrowed down to 2 tanks...one an AIO and the other a standard.
the AIO is about $100 more the the other. + new media basket and lighting.
where the rimless standard is a $100 less + I can use my AC50 and HOB skimmer if I am in a real pinch.
or go with an over sized canister filter.
hmmmm;Bookworm

I'm currently running an Innovative marine 50 gallon lagoon AIO. Its has been my favorite tank. I've done the tank with all the hang on equipment and hate the look with all the clutter. I've done the tank with sump and got tired on always being on my knees to do tank maintenance in the sump. I really like how all the equipment is hidden and how easy to is to do maintenance on the Innovative marine tanks.

thanks for the input. I am a month or so out from "needing" to make a choice but I tell you I keep going back in forth.
I have never had an AIO so I dont know. but it seem like most ppl mod it anyway so it like whats the point. haha
also thinking about the ad on AIO box like the fiji cube etc. but just not sure.
honestly I bet it's gonna come don to if I can "fit" a peninsula tank where i want and what size. we are still rearranging the whole house.
