Cove Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Did a quick search and found nothing on these. Looks like Cobalt Aquatics is launching a new line of AIO tanks called C-view. -3 side low iron -mitred edges -large sump compartments -filter socks -18,26,35,45g sizesLooks pretty promising.Anyone have any more information on these tanks? 1 Quote Link to comment
Kyl Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Could give IM a run for the money, especially if that rear AIO is not a cramped proprietary mess. 1 Quote Link to comment

The mitered corners look much better with clear I agree with what both of you said. I am very interested to find out more information on these tanks. Eyeing the 45g model! 1 Quote Link to comment
jnguyen5820 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Anyone got any news on this? I'm itching to get back into this hobby after 6 months of withdrawal. Quote Link to comment
RPump Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Yeah I haven't been able to find anything else on them. Looks like a solid tank though, I'm really interested. You might consider contacting Cobalt Aquatics on twitter/Facebook, they might give you some more info. Quote Link to comment
jnguyen5820 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Their twitter response was "They should be available very soon." Lol, that doesn't tell me much. I'm try to hold back on getting a IM Fusion. Quote Link to comment
Kyl Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I got an email back that said there should be retail February. If in the market for a new tank, I would personally hold out. IM has some design nitpicks that you won't realise until owning the tank, so seeing what they'll come forward with should be worth the wait. 1 Quote Link to comment
jnguyen5820 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Cool, thanks for the heads up. Quote Link to comment
aio.tankhero Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Thanks for the update, I'm waiting for the c-view 45G 1 Quote Link to comment
Kyl Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 The main nitpicks being the pumps aren't that great and most people end up changing them, default socks are small and a pain to clean, rear compartments have a false-floor which detritus can settle under in an un-cleanable location and the chambers are too small for most non-IM vendor gear. Love my fusion tanks, but they're not perfect. More vendor competition will mean we all benefit. 2 Quote Link to comment
Cove Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 As long as I can get my hands on a 35 or 45g C-view in Canada, im totally going with one of these. Quote Link to comment
Kyl Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Should be able to, I imagine that Ray & Reefsupplies would at least have the line available to order since he's set up with Cobalt on everything else. Quote Link to comment
Adrock15659 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Just got off the phone with Cobalt and they told me it looks like April for a release to the public. Quote Link to comment
Evanski9 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 God Dammit. I think I want to try one of these out over a IM one. I am almost just going say F them and move on. Quote Link to comment
Adrock15659 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Yep. I'm in the same boat I have been holding out checking their Facebook page everyday expecting the release any day, so I got frustrated and called, the gentleman I spoke to muttered something about putting the fishing touches on the stands before the release. I'm not waiting that long and it looks like I'm down to either the innovative marine fusion 25 lagoon or 50 lagoon. Just not crazy about a 12" height on the the 25 but not liking the HUGE jump in price for the 50 not to mention all of the other costs with the larger tank. 1 Quote Link to comment
RPump Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Yeah I contacted them on Facebook and all I got was "in the spring". As anxious as I am for this tank, I'm glad theyre taking their time. Quote Link to comment
KyleAwesome Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 God Dammit. I think I want to try one of these out over a IM one. I am almost just going say F them and move on. FFS. I'm in the same boat, an April release = a sale to IM in Q1. Pull it together Cobalt, I'm not buying your stand anyway. TAKE MY MONEY! Quote Link to comment

But dam they are demanding some $$$ for that. I am hoping the C View has a better chamber setup. The IM leaves you limited. Quote Link to comment
Adrock15659 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Yeah seems disproportionate going from $250.00 to $750.00 shipped on BRS. Best price I have seen is $600.00 shipped from saltwateraquarium.com plus 5%back on future purchase seems like as good as its gonna get will start a build thread when I figure out how much cash I'm gonna hemmeroge Quote Link to comment
jnguyen5820 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 What the....April? Fine.... it better be worth the wait. I'll just slow buy equipment every two to three weeks to keep me busy till it comes out. And i could just start curing my dry rock in the meantime also. Quote Link to comment
uwdanno Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Does anyone know what the dimensions will be? Particularly the 35g? Quote Link to comment
Cove Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 Does anyone know what the dimensions will be? Particularly the 35g? I wish.. Im hoping for the 35-45g models my self. Quote Link to comment
RPump Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 With Reefstock coming up (Feb 25-26), we should hear more about the tanks then. I'm planning on going to Reefstock and I really hope they have the tanks set up there. Quote Link to comment
zoohed Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Was considering an IM 25 in the near future guess I'll be waiting. Wish we could get price point and dimensions at least. Quote Link to comment
