Nuvo or JBJ

[Luwe2008]

I'm looking to buy a nano. I really like the Nuvo 38 by innovative marine and the new JBJ 30 nano rimless. Question is, which one would would you go with?

hows the lighting on the nuvos?

I was interested in the JBJ what are the advantages of the nuvo over the JBJ?

 

[Luwe2008]

The only advantage I seen was that the Nuvo has a 3 inches taller in the dimensions I believe.

Oh, and it come in white aswell.

I'm just basing my opinion based on looks. The light that comes with the Nuvo you might be better off using it as a refugium light.

I have the Nuvo 8 and love it. The slick clean lines and little mini stand set it a part from the others, IMO. I do have to admit, the silicone around the false wall and baffles are a bit sloppy. It doesn't leak, but it could be better. As for the light; I don't know what the 38g comes with but I have the 9w 14k. The color is great!!!! Not to white and not to blue. Just last week I placed a few Radio-action Dragon Eye zoas I fragged from my 120. They are about 3 inches from the surface. It might just be my imagination, but I think they are stretching for more light. Time will tell. If I do need more light I'll go with a PAR38 bulb.
