The Nano Cube is a great way to go if you want an awesome reef aquarium on a budget and limited on space!
This aquarium is great! I have had one for a while now and have created a very healthy reef inside. If you want a compact aquarium which has everything you need in it, choose the nano cube!
This is a quality tank. Great little system for nano reef tank. No one will be disappointed in the deluxe model for nano reefing. I work in the saltwater setup and maintenance business....
WOW! This is not your child’s pop-bottle. If you’re wanting a quality aquarium, the Nano Cube Aquarium is the one. Great for any room where space is important. Simplicity, beauty, and quality. Bigger isn't always better.
I own the 12 gallon with deluxe hood, and absolutley love it. As soon as we received it at work I purchased it. Plenty of room for live rock, and very easy maintainence. Supplies for the aquarium are easy to come by. I have had very positive experiences with Current-USA's customer service should the nano cube ever have complications.
I love the nano cube! Its perfect for a miniature reef aquarium. It's also space saving. Its curved glass corners also make it very unique. I would recommend this to anyone looking to save money and space. Happy reefing!
This little tank makes for an amazing mini-reef. I purchased the 12g deluxe over 3 years ago from Drs F&S and it is still running efficiently with no problems whatsoever. The 12g deluxe is perfect for soft coral as well as LPS. My hairy mushrooms have flourished in this tank and I have to frequently frag them as well as my candy cane LPS coral and put them in my 75g reef tank. I would suggest purchasing the little surface skimmer for this tank because it works great at keeping the surface water crystal clear. Thank you Drs F&S for stocking excellent quality items.
This is an awesome product. I have the 6 gallon nano cube, and it looks great. This is a great item if you are on a tight budget and if you don't have enough room. The filter and lights are amazing.
Studies conducted in recent years confirm what most of us know: a comfortable, stimulating, and pleasing working environment can significantly improve employee productivity, creativity, and overall job satisfaction. Adding an aquarium can help.
Smaller aquariums in the range of 10-20 gallons are the ideal size for the serious beginner. When stocking your small aquarium, think scale: a community of tiny, active, and colorful tropical fish can make even the smallest setup appear grand.
Whether you're establishing your first aquarium, or expanding your hobby experience with a new niche system, small aquariums in the 12-gallon range make a rewarding and relaxing project at home or in the office.
Technological advances have brought about lightweight acrylic aquariums that dramatically redefine the concept of small aquariums. Sophisticated, streamlined, and designed for convenient set up, many desktop aquariums now feature an all-inclusive hoo
