Nuvo or JBJ

[clabern]

The JBJ new solid wood fully assembled stands just hit our LFS. I would get a Vertex Illumina 12" for the tank since they are at a reduced price right now at Bulk Reef Supply. According to Vertex FB page, this discount will only be for June. This light is modular and has controlability built right in. I understand the 108 unibody will be around $500, not upgradeable, and no automation built in, so for $125 more (for the SR260, and $59 more for the SR200), you get much more of a fixture. An AI SOL would be good too...

My LFS doesn't carry JBJ products unfortunately... and I haven't been able to find the new solid wood stands online. Any word on pricing at your LFS? Could/Would they ship?

I don't have the exact price yet, but I was last told $225-$250 area. They might ship. I would post a question on the JBJ facebook site, they have always responsed the same day with either a reponse post or a PM to me. Ask them for online retailers who have it in stock. I think my LFS would probably ship. I'll PM you name/number for them.

I think the Nuvo has better design and concept, I was also looking at one of those to get as well.

I have two of the jbj so jbj has my vote.

I don't have experience with either one but would choose the nuvo just because it's 38g. I currently have a 22" 46g cube and there is not one day that goes by that I don't kick myself for not having opted for the 24" 60g cube I originally thought of getting. I say go as big as you can and you won't regret it. Jmo

Jbj now has the 45 so I would put my vote for that one. Plus, I was just speaking with a guy at my lfs and he brought up a great point. The Jbj has 2 return pumps while the Nuvo only has 1. This may not seem like a big deal but what happens if you have a pump failure. You are covered with the jbj but not the Nuvo.

Got both the JBL started leaking from bottom still running the nuvo hard to find pumps that fit in sump. Nuvo gets my vote.
