Hello everyone! It's been a few years since I took down my 90G. I'm not sure if any of you remember me, but I really enjoyed my time in the hobby (until it all went bad for me).

My wife and I want to get back into the hobby, and we want to go small for now (mainly since we are moving into a new house in around 7 months). I've been checking out the nano tanks online and I'm just not sure what I should be looking for/prioritizing. We don't want to go over 20G, and I think we'd go as small as 10G. So far I've preferred having a built-in sump (all-in-one style), but it looks like most of them don't have them, so I'm not even sure if it's needed. 

Can I get some advice/reviews of what to I should look for? Also, if anyone has a review for their nano I'd appreciate it.

I searched the forum and I couldn't find any recommendations/reviews for nano tanks, so forgive me if I didn't need to start a new thread.

I didn't really want to influence the advice, but these are three I've been looking at.

I have the 20 nuvo fusion and love it. But, depending on what you want in the tank, you'll probably want to upgrade the lighting. I put an AI prime on mine and it's great.

For now we're focusing on LPS and Polyps.

+1 on the Nuvo. Although, mine is slightly larger than you want, I love the 30G. Its actually my wife's tank; she basically finds cool stuff in our main tank, and takes it. 

That line of tank is very easy to care for, the AIO makes things very easy with little maintenance.

Fluval EVO Marine,

All in one system. I'm able to keep and maintain everything I want.

After a lot of thought we decided to go with this one since it's more customizable, and it has a sump.
