Comments: NICE CONCEPT, NEEDS REMODING, MAYBE BETTER LID SETUP, NOT SO FLEXABLE PLASTIC MADE SUMP, DECENT WATER FLOW FOR SUCH A SMALL TANK, NEED TO RETHINK FILTER ARRANGEMENT AND MORE MEDIA ADDED ie BIOBALLS AND OR CERAMICS, MAYBE A OVER FLOW GRAVITY DRIP IN MAIN RETURN AREA. FOR 200.DOLLARS PLUS SHIPPING AND TAX, "COULD BE BETTER QAULITY" AND DESIGN.I DID LIKE THE FACT THE BACK FILTRATION WAS OPEN TOP, GOOD FOR GAS EXCHANGE, AND IF YOU FIND THE RIGHT HANG ON FILTER UNDER 8 INCHES WIDE LIKE FLUVAL C SERIES OR AQUATOP SLIM WITH SKIMMER, YOU'LL DOUBLE YOUR WATER FILTERATION AND QAULITY. OVERALL NOT BAD SEEN WORSE. BUT GIVING XTRA ROOM I GIVE IT 4*.
<br />LIGHTING I GIVE 3*, SIMPLY BECUASE OPEN WIRES AND THE WAY IT MOUNTS TO THE BACK OF THE TANK.FILTRATION ILL GIVE A 1* BECUASE NOT MUCH MEDIA AND COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER DESIGN SEEING ITS DESIGNED FOR NANO REEF APPLICATIONS AND ALL YOU GET IS A PLASTIC INSERT WITH 3 PREPPED FILTER SPONGES THAT ONLY SEAT HALFWAY IN THE COMPARTMENT ALLOWING WATER TO FLUSH OVER AND NOT THRU IT.OVERALL PRICE TO PRODUCT RATE, 2* REASON OTHER NANO TANKS SEEM TO OFFER MORE IN WHERE IT MATTERS, THIS ONE JUST LOOKS NICE AND OFFERS LITTLE, BUT LIKE MANY OTHER TANKS ITS OF PERSONNAL PREFERANCE AND ALLOWS MUCH MODDING AND UPGRADES TO ONES LIKING.
<br />IVE CREATED A RAIN DRIP OVERFLOW, ADDED A HEATER, AND FLUVAL 5 STAGE HANG ON C SERIES FILTER/SKIMMER AND MODDED THE SUMP, AND I LOVE IT. OVERALL I GIVE IT A 4 1/2** SIMPLY BECUASE IT ALLOWS ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT WHERE OTHER NANO TANKS OFFER LITTLE ROOM AT ALL WHERE IT MATTERS, AND THATS THE FILTERATION AREA.

Comments: I have the 8 gallon nuvo aquarium for a couple days now, and I am impressed with the overall design. The back has a total of three chambers, which is nice to separate a heater, the return pump, and such. One thing I do not like is the nighttime moon lights, because they are too bright. There are four LEDs that illuminate the tank too much for the fish at night. Also, the glass top is not a snug fit. The first night I had fish in this aquarium, I lost a yellow multi-banded pipefish (Doryrhamphus pessuliferus) due to it jumping out around the edge of the aquarium. This is the best all-in-one aquarium on the market in my opinion. Although there are some minor flaws, the overall design is great.

Comments: bought this one, and no regrets... people walk in and immediatly notice and compliment. nice design, except i wish the back had a little more room to fit a small in sump skimmer.
