Best AIO Nano

Crabs McJones · Oct 11, 2020

I'm sure this has been discussed to death and beyond, but I MIGHT have the misses talked into letting me get back into the hobby.

It's going to be a nano, very small sweet and simple with soft corals and maybe an easy LPS or two.

I have my heart set on the AI Prime HD and a hydor pump, what I cant decide on is what type of nano to buy.

I have my eye on the Innovative Marine Nuvo Fusion 10 but have also considered the Fiji Cube 10 AIO or a small biocube or a DIY option.

Thoughts? Suggestions? I'm all ears

I own three IM all in ones. All of them are flawless. I was looking at the Fiji cubes though. Mainly because they have a bigger peninsula, 38g. Innovative marine makes a 14g peninsula if you would want to go a tad bigger. One prime would work just fine on that as well.

They both look great tough decision !

Innovative marine has pretty slick AIO

What is your opinion on the Waterbox Cubes or Peninsula Minis ? There beautiful tanks and I have a WB20 Cube and it’s a perfect AIO

I have a Fiji aio and really like it. But, if I had it to do again I'd prob go with a IM

I've got the AI prime on the fluval evo 13.5, seems to do the trick!

Sick tank man.

I would just build one then you can customize it to your needs

I would recommend the IM25 lagoon. The IM10 runs out of space really fast and the 25 has such a nice footprint that a single prime would work great for softies and LPS.

Have an IM Nuvo Fusion 20 and it's a great tank. Really good looking, have had no issues with anything.

I know waterbox makes a nice looking 10g "starfire glass" aio that could take an AI Prime

idk how you are with DIY, but Saltwateraquarium has a "damaged" one lol - https://www.saltwateraquarium.com/d...MIxb-vg6iv7AIVwp-zCh0UNQmfEAQYAiABEgIzf_D_BwE
