Help choosing a nano tank!

Hey everyone,

Something rarely heard in reefing... I'm downsizing! I currently have a 36g mixed reef but am downsizing to a 14ish gallon setup. I've narrowed it down to these three I think. Unless anyone knows of another option I should be considering around 14-16 gallons. Let me know!

Option 1: AquaTop 14g
I love the look of this and obviously the price. It doesn't have any compartments in back to run GFO or anything which is a downside. I'm thinking no filtration won't be an issue and just using live rock/sand and weekly water changes. (I did this about 10 years ago with a 10g setup) I've also never heard of AquaTop. Has anyone else? : https://www.marineandreef.com/AquaTop_14_3G_Eurostyle_Bowfront_Aquarium_ES_24_p/RAT01425.htm

Option 2: Nuvo Fusion 14g
Love this! It's just expensive: https://rb.gy/ekew1z

Option 3: Evo 13.5g
Just so much plastic... Not sure if I love the look but I like the price. I would plan on removing the hood as long as it's easy and upgrading with a better LED light: https://rb.gy/hxsbq2

Curious of your thoughts! Let me know.

I’ve got an IM Nuvo Fusion 30L, and love this tank. Pretty sure you’ll be really happy with the Nuvo Fusion.

I'd go with the IM Nuvo too. The Aquatop is literally just a glass box, the Nuvo is ready to go with a quality pump and filtration compartments straight out of the box in a *clean* package.

Its not on your list but I have a 20 gallon waterbox AIO and its a really nice tank and works well. Something you may want to check out.

The fluval lid comes right off and you don't have to use it at all. I have one and like it.

I had the Nuvo 20, was happy, but wanted bigger...I would go with the IM...
