AIO Pico Suggestion Poll

[bassplaya12]

Well at some point, probably in august, I'm planning on setting up a small desk top nano. My only requirements are that it's an AIO and smaller than 6g. These are one's that I've found that seem decent. Open to other suggestions too. I'm gonna attach a poll. If you choose other, please say what and post a link if possible. Thanks!

I chose #2. 5 and 6 are too small in my opinion. And I've owned the JBJ 3g Picotope. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice setup. But maintaining a tank that small takes a lot of attention. So that's why I voted for the 6g Nanocube. I think you would be happier with the extra water volume and the better lighting. Not to mention the slightly increased stocking options. Just my opinion though.

^^That one I definitely thought was the nicest but I want to still have desk space, I guess it's essentially a foot by a foot which still is pretty small.

 

[bassplaya12]

Actually you know what, that's like the same damn size as the other ones, just taller and a bit deeper....****, may have to go with that

 

[bassplaya12]

^^You have a link to the JBJ 3g? Is it a cube too?

#5 on your list is made by JBJ.

Ahh. I did not know that. Anyone happen to have a pic of the 6g cube for size reference?

 

[Jarred1]

i really like number 1 but you are going to get a auto top off

 

[andrewkw]

I voted for one because I own a dymax

 

[thestratomaster]

^^^i like your dymax alot hah. Any complaints? And I was wondering of I needed one jarred, you think I will?

 

[thestratomaster]

^^oh wow I logged into an old account by accident hah

 

[bassplaya12]

^^ Put in my old account stuff on my Ipod by accident hah

 

[Jarred1]

yea i think you should make an ato there are lots of guides you can use. mine cost like $15

 

[bassplaya12]

^^ I started a DIY thread asking for help. You have a link for the guide you used? 15 bucks would be perfect!

I choose #1 because I just now recently starting to see them and it seems like a solid built tank. I've heard they are big in china or something.
Would like to see another one setup.
The thing with #4 and 5 is they aren't AIO.
Thats my $0.02

 

[bassplaya12]

^^ That's true, but they do include everything. I think I like #1 and the cube. The only thing with number one is it's very very small

 

[fatrip]

I voted #1. I have been looking and reading about these tanks lately and I liked what i saw.

 

[KafudaFish]

I would do the #1 for a desk top.

Cheap and pretty much done.

It seems that the first thing people do with the "aio" are gut them, throw everything away except the tank, and build from scratch.

What is the point of that?

 

[bassplaya12]

I won't be building from scratch, it would be left alone haha
