Joevember Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 I'm trying to find a good nano tank andI just found a nuvo 16 in my area for $25. The seller says it holds water and has a pump. I know the tank came out in 2011, so I'm not sure if it is that great. Is this a good tank to pick up? Anyone have any luck or any problems with it? Quote Link to comment
A Little Blue Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Yes, glass shattered at the weakest point (curved corner). IM had bad track record with that tank. Quote Link to comment

Thanks, I've seen some reviews of people saying that. And since it's so old it would be more prone to breaking. Thanks for the advice. 1 Quote Link to comment

AquaVaj Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Mine cracked sitting outside with sand and water just enough to cover the sand. Cracked around the curved corner down the side to the back. Didn't realize they were so prone to cracking until I did a google search. That's probably why it's only $25. Quote Link to comment

Yeah, $25 is a lot cheaper than the other tanks they have. I found a 25 gallon IM lagoon with stand for $150 and a 20 gallon fusion for $125. Probably going to buy the 25 for the extra tank size.
