      Cobalt C-Vue 45 gallon review

      This has been one of the greatest tanks I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. I love my AIO tanks and it all started with the infamous JBJs. This tank has two overflows both with filter sock. In the rear there is a unique baffling system that works fantastic and it has dual return pumps that do not need to be upgraded at all. Plenty of space in the back for everything you want to add (skimmer, fuge, Etc...) i am currently running a tunze 9004 skimmer, a cobalt heater, a tunze nano ATO and chemipure elite carbon. For powerheads, I am currently running a single mp10 and that’s all. For lights, I went with the radion xr30 pro from ecotech. This is a very simple setup and I don’t do anything crazy with it. I do bi monthly water changes and that’s it. As far as livestock I have a breeding pair of spotcinctus clowns, Randall’s goby, pigmy cherub angel, sixline wrasse, Tiger pistol shrimp and an orange line tang. I have to give a shoutout to cobalt for doing such an amazing job at making a simple but very effective design for a very reasonable price. If you have any questions about the tank or where the best prices are, don’t hesitate to ask and I can send you links. My tank has been running for about 4 years and has been through many moves and changes and it still handles everything like a beast. Thanks for looking.

      If I am to upgrade I will go for Cvue . I like how spacious the chambers are from what I watched. Did you also purchase the stand?

      No, I didn’t need the stand but I can assure you the stand from cobalt is very well built. You will not be upset going with the C Vue I promise
