Nuggs Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 If your not getting known jumpers than the top doesn't really matter anyway. It may only be an extra 5G but its an extra 5" of space front to back which is WAY better for aquascaping. I'm personally considering selling my 20 and getting the 25 lagoon. Quote Link to comment
Spiderguardnano Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Just picked up a 25g lagoon with upgraded media baskets stand today from a local reefer for $300 pics to come shortly Quote Link to comment

I'll disagree about the top - I think it also helps keep some snails in the water (dumb snails). Also, I didn't think clowns were jumpers and I've had mine jump into the rear chambers of my bio cube. I am considering selling my 20 for the 25 too. 2 Quote Link to comment

HarryPotter Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Just picked up a 25g lagoon with upgraded media baskets stand today from a local reefer for $300 pics to come shortly Great price! Did it come with a stand or are you building it? Quote Link to comment
Spiderguardnano Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Great price! Did it come with a stand or are you building it? Came with the innovative marine stand I didn't want the tank lol but it was so hard to resist it It really is such a sexy tank Scaping is going to be some work and I'm thinking of my stock idk what fish Quote Link to comment
newf99 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Ray's only selling them as a combo with the stands afaik. Has the option of tank only on the website with 45 dollars shipping. Quote Link to comment
Kyl Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Has the option of tank only on the website with 45 dollars shipping. I always seem to miss an obvious option like that.. Quote Link to comment
newf99 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I always seem to miss an obvious option like that.. Yeah. Good price for an all-in-one in Canada. I'm split between the 25 lagoon and the 20 fusion. Quote Link to comment
WhiteWulfe Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Indeed it is a good price...but is it really worth it over the 20 when no screen is included? I was planning on getting a lid from smiz anyways, so that isn't something I'm all that concerned about. Like others have mentioned, the additional 5" of depth can be rather useful ^_^ Quote Link to comment
Spiderguardnano Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Here is the tank I picked for a killer deal $300 for tank and stand Fixed the scape happy with the right side but not sure about the left 2 Quote Link to comment
WhiteWulfe Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Oh my, is that the usual waterline for the Lagoon 25? If so, it's definitely a nice treat compared to the Fusion 20! ......Just the mere possibilities that pop into one's mind.... Quote Link to comment
waytoospicy Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Here's mine. Has been setup for two weeks now, downsized from a 40b. Really enjoying this tank so far. Just sold the blue tang in the pic to someone with a larger tank. 5 Quote Link to comment

Tmr8188 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Ordered mine today. But its back ordered with the white stand on marine depot. It'll be replacing my SPEC v. 1 Quote Link to comment
Pinner Reef Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Someone help me out... exactly how big is the "skimmer compartment"? Quote Link to comment
waytoospicy Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I believe it's the exact same dimensions as the fusion 20. The desktop ghost skimmer fits snugly. 1 Quote Link to comment
spectra Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Well after having the 20 I wanted to go bigger and almost bought the 50.....ended up with a tank with a sump.... The Nuvos are great! I just can not deal with the AIO anymore. Quote Link to comment
Spiderguardnano Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I wouldnt get a aio bigger than a 30g Does anyone know if the Aquamaxx ws-1 in sump protein skimmer will fit? http://m.marinedepot.com/products/uj00189/aquamaxx-ws-1-in-sump-protein-skimmer Quote Link to comment

I just can not deal with the AIO anymore. Ahaha, total opposite here. Went from sump to AIO for more simplicity and easier maintenance. 1 Quote Link to comment
Cove Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 That's.... a lot more reasonable than I was expecting. And makes it rather tempting. $45 to ship it, checked yesterday. Quote Link to comment
spectra Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Ahaha, total opposite here. Went from sump to AIO for more simplicity and easier maintenance. Same boat but to me the sump is easier to clean plus I can fit a skimmer that works and do not have to look at it. I love my Fusion but just do not like a bunch of cords and things coming out the back of the tank. I really wanted to get the 50 but just could not do it. Quote Link to comment
Tmr8188 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 I'm planning to go sps dominate in mine. Would a maxspect gyre 130 be too much? Or should I go with an mp10? Quote Link to comment
Toddy Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I just received mine and am setting it up this weekend. I ordered a stand from JBJ instead since the dimensions are the same and the price tag is half the price of the IM stand. I didn't see a point in spending more on the stand than I did the tank. Still undecided on my lighting but for now I'll be hanging a AI Sol over the tank. Also I'm building my own 1/4 inch mesh screen top since the tank does not come with a IM screen. I do like the new 200 micron filter bags. I'm still looking at options for running carbon and NPX pellets. I should have my swap done by Sunday and I'll post a build thread. Quote Link to comment
