We have had nothing but positive things to say about the Fusion Nano line of aquariums from Innovative Marine, and it appears that they are just getting better. They are already the smallest all-in-one aquariums on the market to offer low iron glass, along with a bevy of other features, and soon they will be offered in a very affordable Premium Starter Kit. Each kit will mach up one tank with a full set of lights, all of which are discounted generously to help get people into the hobby and stay there without having to sink a fortune into their setup.
Announced moments ago, the IM Fusion Nano 10 and 20 aquariums with their premium starter kits will come with lighting, which comes in the form of their brand new SKKYE Light 18w LED fixture. The 20 gallon model, which normally retails for $200 for the tank only, will come with two LED fixtures and a price tag of $400. That’s a savings of $60! Alternatively, the 10 gallon model will tip the scales at $200. The 10 gallon normally retails for $100 for just the aquarium, and if the light were purchased separately, the total price would be $230. So, we’re seeing a $30 drop for the premium kit for this model.
These $60 and $30 price drops may not seem like a ton, but giving how inexpensive these setups are, you just know that IM is cutting deep into their margins to deliver this very affordable product to the masses. And think about it this way, for these savings you could fill the tank with live rock, buy a couple of coral colonies, or load up on more than enough fish. These are great savings on an already inexpensive product, and after talking back and forth with reps from IM, we love the approach and are really glad to see a company focused on keeping people in the hobby.
