Which tank to get?

[CD_Scapes]

I have three options for tanks right now and I need some help deciding:

UNS 45L

• Pro- Already own
• Pro- Less space = Less money
• Con- Small size
• Con- New filter needed
• Con- Less water volume = less room for error
• Con- Small size also means less stocking options
• Con- No lid

UNS 45a

• Pro- AIO
• Pro- Lots of filtration space
• Pro- Mid-sized (for me)
• Pro- Used to have one and loved it
• Con- AIO reduces tank volume
• Con- Pump upgrade/extra flow possibly needed
• Con- Skimmer slots kinda suck
• Con- Cost per gallon is kinda high at $18.3/gal ($165 total)
• Con- May not be produced anymore???
• Con- No lid

IM 15 Cube

• Pro- AIO
• Pro- Lots of filtration
• Pro- Larger volume = more room for error
• Pro- Larger size = more stocking options
• Pro- PRICE $8.4/gal ($126 after shipping)
• Con- Barebones = money spent on upgrades
• Con- No lid

I think I'm going IM 15 cube tbh after typing this out...

I love my Innovative marine 15 gallon! It is awesome and the lid is cheap.

Plus it comes with a pump!
