Never seen them, but I can tell it is a rip off. It is a small (acrylic looking) box with a small light. I wouldn't buy one.

Aren't they glass?


I did a quick search and found nothing saying that they are garbage. I do know every single "complete" nano that I know of has one issue or another. I'd be more inclined to get something that has less options instead of more, that way you can make what you want out of it, instead of modifying something that doesn't work from the start/

check out the 9 and 12gal CADLIGHT tanks, I really like the 9 gal tank, 5mm thick bow front, I like the minimalistic design, very attractive and for $70 not too bad for that quality tank. They also have some interesting T-5 lighting options for the Nano's too.

I don't think I've ever heard anything positive about the brand Jalli.

my biggest question would be why all the corner supports, unless they use them to hold the tanks together, which would be bad

I've never used any of their tanks but at one time had used a bunch of their heaters.. None lasted more than 8 weeks...

For the price of the tank I would get an ADA garden cube.

Yup the ada-L (about 8-9 gallons) is about 95 new. I just got rid of mine to a friend. Its a pretty nice tank though.

Yeah, like I said I think AF store prices are about 95. Online through them is cheaper though, however you can't pick it up in store and shipping cost is going to make up for the cheaper price.

I wasn't going to buy them, but they looked pretty cheap for 2 tanks with lighting....I guess you get what you pay for.
