boyu tl-450 or newa 30 reef ?

Hello everybody.I have aquarium for a few years ( not a salty one). I want to set a nano reef tank. I havent got so many money and so many experience. For these reasons i want to buy a all in one system. In my country i have two choice ( now i find )

first one is newa reef 30. it is all in one system 28 liters.

And second one is Botu tl-450 all in one system. 58 liters. ( i dont know these nanos technical feathures so i cant write in here.)

*They have nearly same price now.

 

I want your opinion for which aquarium is better for me. I want to 3-4 little fish like clownfish, gobi, or maybe damsel ( i dont know very well about can they okey for nano.)

and ofcourse i want some colorful corals i dont want very expensive and hard ones but a few soft and maybe little firm ones.

 

1- i am wondering that light of boyu is sufficient for corals because its deeper.

 

Also other important point for me is esthectics. what i mean ? i want to mean that; i like sharp corners in aquarium like fluval edge especially rectangle. But it can be square like newa it has sharp corners and straight point.

but boyu has smooth points in front part. it is deeper than he others and roundness at the corners come strange for me ( is it very important ? > not so so much...)

 

>second one is more bigger than first one is it very big advantage for me ( 58-28=30 liters extra)

 

2- And the last point is; i dont want to modify this system i must use completely originally. In this situation which model can more stronger for me ?

Thank you for your replys.

sorry for my writing mistakes...

It's been a long time since you wrote this, but I just got the Newa More 30R. It's a nice little tank, but you'd have to do mods on it to use it as a real nano-reef tank. The lights are maybe good enough for mushrooms and zoas if you put them at the very top. Otherwise, you'll need another light. (I'm using the Tunze 8850.) The protein skimmer is nice to have, but not totally necessary. The filter seems like something that would work fine for a fresh water tank but turn into a nitrate factory for a reef tank. I've only had mine a week, and I like it a lot, but to be honest I think the best thing about any all-in-one tank is the aquarium itself--any glass tank with a refugium/Aquaclear filter mod, a powerhead, and a strong light will probably work twice as well as all the AIO models on the market.
