BOBBARKER68 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Hey looking at getting an AIO tank, space is limited as I will be moving. I was thinking of the drop off tank, I just dont know how i feel about acrylic. A little help, or thoughts or suggestions. Thanks Link to comment
tanacharison Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 It will scratch really easy. I like how light and strong all my acrylic tanks feel but they just scratch easy. Thinner acrylic without a brace will bow. Some people reported that the IMs bowed a little. I had my 26gal up for 16 months and I never had any issues once I took it down I buffed out the scratchs and it was brand new. Link to comment
spectra Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 It will bow.............I saw one in a local store and they took it down as they did not like the look. I have a few IM products but that is one I would not get. I am just not a fan of acrylic at all. Link to comment
BOBBARKER68 Posted December 25, 2016 Author Share Posted December 25, 2016 Thanks for the help, those are all things that were on my mind. Now i shall look at another IM option. 25 Lagoon?? 20 fusion ?? Link to comment
Shoob1e Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 30l has cool dimensions too. Link to comment
BOBBARKER68 Posted December 25, 2016 Author Share Posted December 25, 2016 30l has cool dimensions too. Yea I do like that one too, but price and space factor...... Link to comment
jtwisconsin Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Those drop off tanks look cool, but I am also not a fan of acrylic tanks after having one previously. I purchased a Fusion 20 for the following reasons: Space - I need something under 30" Size - I like staying under 20 gallons Popularity - There are several successful Fusion 20 tanks on NR $$$ - At only $200 they are a bargain Link to comment

So same price little more volume. I never thought this would be this hard to decide....... Link to comment

spectra Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Ok I started with the 20 and loved it. Not hard to light and has a decent footprint. Probably my favorite IM tank so far. I also have to 30L and yes lights cost more and not as much space as the 20 front to back as it has a bigger AIO area. The 25 is one inch shorter than the 20 also but I kind of wish I went that rout over the 30..........so many decisions out there....... Link to comment
