    Hi all, I am new to this hobby. I was at a trade show and saw the Eheim nano aquariums. Really liked the look. Having a problem finding them or any reviews from users. Perhaps they are too new for anyone to have had any experience with them.
    I would settle for something similiar, some seamless 5-10 gal. set up.
    Does anyone have any ideas or experiences? I have also seen the Fluval Chi--any feedback on this one?
    I hope I have posted to the correct forum
    Thanks,
    Pam C

    Those are really new to the market. You should check out Cadlights aquariums. They have an awesome look, tons of lighting options, great sizes and most come with built in refugiums.

    Thanks so much for the replies. I will check out Cadlights. I have never heard of them:(. Also, to show you how new I really am, what the heck is a refugium???:confused:
    Thanks Again,
    Pam
    P.S. any other suggestions about a rim less type setup is greatly appreciated.

    A fuge is a place seperate from the display tank where things like pods can flurish for food and macro algea's like cheato can be grown to help reduce phoshates and nitrates. A fuge can be built in the sump or can be seperate in another tank but is still plumbed together with the sump. If you have a shallow sand bed or bare bottom in the display tank you can have a deep sand bed in a fuge to get further filtration but please research this and understand the pro's and cons of a deep sand bed first. There are sticky threads on the deep sand bed subject for you to read.
