The
Innovative Marine 30L is now available for $499.99 and will work just fine without the stand. The filtration and all necessary components are built right into the back of the tank; just be sure you have a suitable piece of furniture or alternate stand that will support the weight of the tank.
The 30L does have some great features over the Nuvo24 including thicker glass, polished diamond edges, and black silicone which are typically found on only the most high-end of aquariums. It is definitely worth the extra dough
in my opinion.
