All in one tanks

[tricia19632004]

I saw an All in one tank at a local store yesterday and I liked it, but I forgot to write down the name of it. Any opinions on the all in one tanks with return built in to the back? Any suggestions on manufacturer? I’m thinking of 80 gallon or close to that. Thanks.

The BioCubes are the most common all in one tanks, but they are in the mid 30 gallon range...

I would think once you get to the, the space required to fit everything in the back would push the dividing wall pretty far into the tank, but hopefully someone knows of AIO tanks in that size range.

I wouldn’t go AIO at that size. I love my RSR Max Nano though

Actually, this member just posted updates on his Waterbox 50 gallon all in one tank:

Alright, This tank has changed for the last time, I have finally settled with the tank being a pure mixed reef. Mods please delete my thread in the Member Tank Forum, if possible, Titled Low Bommie Soft Reef. The tank has changed and more rock added to fill empty space. Here is a FTS:

Innovative marine and Waterbox are the only two manufacturers that come close to those sizes in the AIO department. Both are great, Innovative Marine has been making AIOs for a VERY long time now, there SR Series I believe are still being produced but only in the 60 size (I think)

Check out fijicube.com

They have some really nice ones at a good price.

My first Salt-Water tank was a Fluval Flex cube. 15g Nano, had an AIO. Actually enjoyed it. Was very easy to clean and stayed pretty clear considering it didnt have a real sump or anything. Not sure about getting one with those bigger tanks though, you lose the utility of having a Refugium and so forth.

I didn’t think about that. Hmmm.
