innovative Marine Fusion 15 AIO Cube?

[RaymondL]

Reaching out here for anyone that has purchase the Innovative Marine Fusion 15 AIO Cube - it's suspiciously priced low and is what I think the lowest price aquarium in the market for an all in one tank. It does sound like too good to be true. I'm wondering what people who have purchased think of the tank - looks, build, good and bad points to the tank. This tank is nearly 3x less than a Waterbox per se, so why is that I wonder.

I"m wondering if there's a stand for this tank that'll sit flush with the tank on all sides.

Thanks

I have not ordered one yet, but from what I have read everyone has said the quality was really good. I’m not sure about a stand though, I know several people have bought some night stand from Amazon that seems to be the right size.
There are many build threads that you can find on this tank.

Its the best bang for the buck AIO out right now. I really dont know why its so cheap. Its a Cadilac compared to my Fluval 13.5. The pump that it comes with it is a DC version to and is stupid quiet. IM has a lot of accessories for it also. I got the AquaShield 10 watt uv, Media basket and high tide riser. I would get the custom lid for it if you get one.

A lot of people are upgrading the pump to a mighty jet but i use a Jabeo SLW-5 so i dont need more flow or turn over.

Go look in the member section of tank builds and there are a lof of people with there builds.

I got this stand for mine.

I have one. Fantastic. Price and a fantastic tank. Go for it.

They seem to be great quality so far. I believe this is an introductory price and it will eventually go up. I have two of them. I am setting one up as a seahorse and pipefish tank, maybe a few corals too, and plenty of algae. The other will be a quarantine tank.

Thank you for the feedback. I was very suspicious of the pricing - I think IM is smart in this sense...charge less, sell more versus charge premium price and sell less.

Stand: Ok, so it's built of metal except the top, which I"m wondering if saltwater gets onto the surface, what it would do to it as I don't think it's waterproof. Is there any wobble/shakiness to the stand at all?

Cheers

Its mildly wobbly and i guess if excess salt get on it it may rust. I dont spill that much water

It's the same glass and build quality as all the other IM tanks (which is very nice). They cut the cost by not including all the extras that they typically include (screen top, controllable pump, etc). If you're going to buy all the other stuff for the tank, it's not as much of a value as the sticker price would seem. That's not a bad thing, just pointing it out.

I haven’t bought one but I can tell you the tank looks identical to the ones they produced when they first arrived on the scene and it is priced indentically too. If that’s truly the case then it’s worth every penny

I ordered 2, one for me and one for my wife at our offices. The $99 preorder ones are basically the same as the rest .The difference is the pump is small, maybe 150gph and comes only with a filter sock, no media basket, no high tide riser.

I picked one up at the end of October and have just gotten around to getting it up and running. So far, I'm loving it. It's a perfect size for where I have it and the glass looks amazing.

I’m on about the same timeline. As for the stand, I had come to a point that I was sure I just needed to build a plywood stand. Then I saw a 15” x 15” kitchen cabinet on marketplace. I made a 16” wood top and painted it all black. In my thread as well.

I found some that located a nightstand online. I believe one person did make a plywood stand. Personally, that is probably the nicest route. However, I do have a soft close drawer and door.

I have one, stupid nice

Mine should be delivered today.

It’s heavier than you’d think.

 

[Gtinnel]

It’s heavier than you’d think.

I just checked and the shipping weight is just under 40lbs. I’d prefer it to be heavier, things just seem to be better quality when they weigh more.

I keep telling my wife that! She's not buying it, though.

 

[juiceguy]

I grabbed one for that price as well, did I need it.......probably not but great deals like this don't by very often.

Just noticed the logo. I'm attending the Big Ten game on Saturday night. (live in Indy area).

I would love to be able to go. I’ve been a huge Michigan fan since I was a kid and I’ve sadly never been to a game.
