"It is great for the beginner, but still has everything you need for the expert. As a one plug marine aquarium that includes a skimmer and T5 lighting, it's quite outstanding," said Simon Langdale who judged the aquatics category. However, this marine nano tank isn't so "nano" with external dimensions of 608 x 500 x 612mm with a total capacity of 130 litres, but as Red Sea state, it is a sensibly sized nano reef and the size of the tank has enabled them to fit a number of valuable features. Firstly is the fact that it comes with a large, built-in protein skimmer powered by a "turbo injected" pump. This alone could make it a more stable option that many other models available, but it also includes an adjustable surface skimmer, two 550 lph circulation pumps, mechanical, chemical and biological media, and all that is built into a compartment in the back of the tank, out of the way. The compartment has room for a heater and a chiller pump if necessary. The hood provides access to the skimmer and lifts at the front for feeding and cleaning, but it can rise up on clever hinges providing full access to the tank. Inside the hood there is 10,000K actinic and LED moonlighting and all can be programmed by an integrated timer. All plugs and cables are concealed within a panel at the side of the tank and can be removed and changed at your leisure. This neat panel also means that only one power cable has to be plugged in, and there doesn't seem to be anything that the people at Red Sea haven't thought of, included, or overcome.

Posted by: Tim Perkins - 2 months ago Editorial comment "I'm not too sure when these are due to go on sale. The Red Sea website currently has the new tanks on the front page, however, the "read more" link actually links back directly to the news story above! There's going to be a lot of interest in these, and Interpet products (Red Sea is an Interpet brand) is very widely stocked in the UK, so tracking one down eventually shouldn't be too difficult. You could try contacting Interpet at customercare@interpet.co.uk to see if they can tell you any more. " "As far as I know they are coming out at the end of this month."
