Nano Cube Clones

[ScottZ]

I was in a small local shop the other day which sells mostly imported tanks and gear (China, Korea etc) and they had what looked to be around a 12-14 gallon dopy of a Nano Cube in silver trim. Sorry, but I didn't get the brand name. The owner told me he would sell me the tank with the matching stand for $80. Yes, it is new. Has anyone come across any of these? Just curious if they have any serious flaws or should I give it a try.

Do you remember what brand it was?

One potential problem is getting replacement parts or support if there's a problem.

Did you get a look at how it worked and what the equipment does?

All I remember for certain is that the filter arrangement was foam with a spray bar mounted above it. I'm gonna drop in tomorrow and look again. I may go ahead and pick one up.

It sounds like it's either a Via Aqua or a Jebo system.

I have a 7 gallon Jebo that's been running about three years with no problems.

Ok, just picked it up. It is a SunSun HRC-380, roughly 8.7 gallons. It was either overstock or an older display unit, got it and the stand for $80, looks brand new except for some dust. Nobox, no manual and no warranty however. So far, no leaks.
