tangka Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Hello Looking at buying one of those all in one tanks with built in filtration and light on a stand. Looking at a 2 ft setup. Which brands are best, I know of aqua nova, aqua one, jebo but don't know if any good. What are good ones for fresh water and what are good ones for saltwater setups? Thanks Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noxious_nasties Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 For saltwater nano tanks, alot of people like "red sea max" Any tank is good for freshwater, provided it is built sturdy. Most of your concerns should be with compatible stocking tankmates for your given tank size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priscacara Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I only have the aquaone 980 (210L) model and quite happy with it. Initially I considered the filtration to be below par but most of that was due to my preference of canister filters as it did turn over enough water and filter nicely when I looked at it properly. I ditched the pads at the the top and put in ceramic rings topped with filter wool and pads. The design flaw I dont like is that you really have to take the light part of the hood completely off to vaccum and do decor properly, exascerbated by all the cords running UNDER a slot in the filter section at the top. I moved the light cord to the side but you dont get the 2 parts fitting right that way. Just my observations on the 980, hope it helps a bit.

E4G13M4N Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 For fresh water i have found Aqua One much easier to get parts for compared to most other brands Red Sea tanks are pretty good for marine, Aqua One also now have a copy not sure what they are like yet though, have heard reasonable reports so far.
