200 gallon Dream Tank

Eric Abe · Jan 10, 2023

Currently own a Waterbox Marine X 60.2. Looking to upgrade to a larger tank and am going big for this tank.

Looking for input from everyone, what would be your dream 200 gal tank? If you already own a 200 gal what brand do you have and would you suggest them?

Feel free to show them off for inspiration as well.

I'm going with the IM 200Ext peninsula for my next tank

Dream tank I would most likely do a WaterBox or reefer S1000 .... Cost friendly wise I would probably do a marineland/aqueon reef ready tank

OK my 2 cents. for what ever there worth...
I had the RS 650P stated to fail got the new version. so much nicer but traded it for some tail work we needed done.

a few months later was tank shopping top conditioners where:
cade
glass cages
IM
Tsumani ( acrylic)

after a few days of running numbers I went with the IM ext 200 peninsula. with there 40% off total came to 4K with tank stand and there new RSF 50" sump best bang for your buck.
just gotta wait 12-16 weeks to get it.

if 200 is your goal I think its a great price point and system.
however if you want bigger like a 96" I would look into glass cages.

ah yes the RS S-1000 lools like a great tank too. did not add that to my list as they dont make a peninsula version. sad

OP I would consider that one too. but think IM is a better deal. but you prob. can get the RS at your door in a 10 days...soooo

Ya i have been looking a lot at waterbox, cade. Need to check out IM tanks. I unfortunately dont think i can make a peninsula tank work, i would love to use one as a room seperator.
