nobody?
If you like curved glass then go for it. I personally like the cadlights one though. Here is a link: http://www.cadlights.com/product_info.php?products_id=89&osCsid=d5a28e29f0d2df46771ebbc8bf02a5ff
It would be better to get a standard aga tank like 20l and modify it to suit your needs.

I think if you have experience with SPS then you'll be ok. If SPS is totally new to you, then it might be hard. Just because with such a small water volume parameters change quickly.

I own a 24 gallon Aquapod with 70 watt HQI Sunpod and it is definately a quality aquarium for SPS. I've got about 20 differend SPS frags all of which are doing well and have good coloration. I'm thinking about making it a merry Christmas and upgrading to a 150 watt Sunpod. I want a bit more color out of my corals and just more light in the tank to brighten up some shady spots.
I looked at the Cadlights 25 gallon and I was very impressed. To me it's an improvement on the Aquapod for a few reasons. There is a sump area in the back of the Aquapod is pretty narrow and there's no real space to do a refuguim. There's also no real space for mechanical filtration or space for a skimmer. The Cad has room for all of these, with a mechanical filtration area and a fuge area (with light) already in place. And for $449 that's a pretty quality all inclusive set-up.
I'm still quite happy with my Aquapod, but if I were buying today I'd most likely go for the Cadlights 25 gallon.

BecomesOcean - did your aquapod come with a glass top? do u have any heat issues and constant top offs?
I have been looking at the cadlights 25gal 150hqi (thanks randt122), and I am falling in love.I'm gonna start a new thread to see if any one else has one and what they think.

Yeah, it came with a glass top but I don't use it cos it would overheat the tank. I'm running two pumps and a skimmer on it and as long as the room temp isn't over 73 degrees my temp stays around 78-80, which is exactly what I want.

About a gallon every 36/48 hours.
