    Unfortunately, they only have the 24g and 28g with LED's as an option. The 12g is just CF's.

    Does the new media basket make that much of a difference as far as efficiency or does it just allow you to use floss instead of the sponges?

    Anyone have any thoughts on the Uniquarium 12 gallon Flat back Hex?

    never heard of that, but from what i hear about the hex tanks is that it actually decreases fish swimming room (horizontal swimmers) as they are usually taller then wider.

    well, I just got a used 12g nanocube with the stand for $78.50 off ebay. I'm picking it up tomorrow.

    IIRC they make a clip-on for the 12g. Like the Flipper. The Unibody will probably be to much for that tank.



    Grats on the Nanocube. I like their backside design, even if I don't agree with them on the rings. But inTank fixes that.
