Jelliquarium seahorse tank

[ReefWidowed]

I was hoping to go to MACNA this year to check these out, but for now, I'll have to take others words for it. I'm wondering if anyone has had experience with Midwater Systems (The guys that make the jelliquarium) Seahorse tank. They look like a really great idea, but before dropping $1000 on a tank that I've never seen, I'd like some outside opinions on it. THANKS!!

I've never seen one in person. Based on the description on their webpage, it isn't a system I'd personally want. I don't like wet/dry filtration (bio-balls) - especially on a seahorse tank where nitrates are a concern due to the horses messy eating habits. They may be worth the money, but I prefer to pick and choose my own equipment and lighting.

I think picking it piece by piece would be cheaper and better.

I talked with these guys at length at MACNA as they had the booth next to us. They even gave the talk that made episode 14. The aquariums seem a little steep and to be 100% honest I wasn't impressed with the seems in some of the acrylic.

Not to knock a vendor at all as they did know their stuff and it was obvious that the newer tanks were better built and they learned alot from mistakes obviously.

I think I am going to purchase the hexagon one. The light may need replacement down the line, though. It's basically like a nano cube with bioballs, only I like the shape and height.

The cost is too high, You can have a great set up for alot less

Seems to be incredibly overpriced. Even their jellyfish tanks are expensive. You can get a kreisel (sp?) for less.
