不到两周前，我们在创新的海军陆战队办公室里摇摆着，恰好及时停下来检查了他们的第一次生产货物，使Nuvo Shallow Reef Aquariums。现在，我们指定“生产制造”，因为我们到目前为止在文献和演出中看到的坦克都是预先制作的，但是Masse制作的坦克是最终版本，这是Nuvo Shallow Reef的真正交易。
As good and polished as the Nuvo SR aquariums were that we saw at MACNA, the finalsellable水族馆are an exceptional level of craftsmanship. Chamfered edges all around, or ‘diamond beveled’ we’ve also heard it called, trace every angle of the Nuvo Shallow Reef’s aquarium glass. Every pane of glass is lined up perfectly and as thick as the glass is that Innovative Marine has selected for their new line, it is incredibly clear.
While on location we discovered that Innovative Marine is pre-assembling every aspect of the Nuvo Shallow Reef line, including the stands. Anyone who ponys up the real coin that these aquariums cost will be pleasantly surprised with the user experience of receiving a large All in One aquarium which is plug and play in the sense that all you’ll have to do is unwrap the package. The tank even comes packed on top of the stand on its own pallet!
While it was impressive to see how much labor goes into the Nuvo SR aquariums before consumers receive them, it was even nicer to fast forward to Innovative Marine’s lifestyle space. Within this area IM had already installed an impeccable layout of Caribbean invertebrates and captive raised clownfish. In this setting you can really see how the Nuvo Shallow Reef are really part of a larger vision by Innovative Marine to make the larger all-in-one into a lifestyle product.
The Nuvo Shallow Reef series is less for the diehard hobbyist than it is for our mothers, our family who like our tanks but don’t want something as complicated as our little reef aquarium fusion reactors. However, once the hobbyists among us get a good look at the build quality and stop whining about not being able to drill and sump to their heart’s content, we’re pretty sure a new breed of reefers are going to learn to love working within the confines of the Nuvo SR’s back filter area.
还记得一个名牌的星际玻璃水族馆以前只有十年甚至五年前的价格昂贵吗？现在，以相同的价格创新的海军陆战队提供了独特的水族馆格式，支架和足够的过滤和装备以使其一切正常，并且可以扩展和修补并在后部区域玩耍。
The only thing about the Nuvo SR which is自己拥有是照明系统。It would be nice to have some bundled options of Nuvo Shallow Reef aquariums with Ecoxotics, AquaIllumination, Kessils or Ecotech Marine’s LED offerings but these packages will likely materialize downstream of the supply chain, and we’ll start seeing these as reefers and resellers become more familiar with the Nuvo SR’s unconventional shape.
创新的海洋Nuvo浅礁的规格表已覆盖和窒息在我们以前关于这一值得关注的新产品的报道中。在这一点上，Nuvo SR的第一批货物应该开始在全国各地开始。If history is any indication, we’ll see the first few being set up at finer LFS, some lucky customers will be able to partake in the trickle of available tanks, and Innovative Marine will be playing catch up for a few months until the initial demand is satisfied.
Our first impression of the Nuvo SR is that this is going to be one product that makes a big splash in the aquarium hobby, for both fresh and saltwater tanks. The final product looks really great and the simplified equipment is going to increase aquarium success for a wave of new aquarium owners. The finished product speaks for itself in the pictures below; there’s no substitute for seeing one in person yourself so be sure to look out for them at finer LFS and aquarium stores over the next few weeks.
