4ft. tank recommendation

[cmmatxh]

i’m itching on upgrading from my 20 cube to a 4 foot tank i was told by 2 lfs to go with red sea but i’ve read a few threads and seen a couple of videos bashing red sea. why would both stores recommend this brand? is it bc they get a higher profit selling that brand? personally i was thinking either waterbox or cade but not sure yet i really like cade because of the aluminum/glass stand but that does come with a little bigger price tag. the red sea cost way less but i’m a bit concerned about them “busting at the seams” or is it just poor installation and it not being leveled

I’m waiting on an innovative marine 100 which is about 4ft. If you’re still searching. Doesn’t come with a sump though

Yup comes with their new APS aluminum stand. Free shipping too.

A series of the 750s didn't have adequate support in the stand. Many issues with that tanks first run. They sent out a brace for people free of charge. Some didn't know to ask and was too late for others.

Other than that, Red Sea has a pretty solid run. All the other brands you listed are just as good. You won't be disappointed with any of those options!

I am a happy Red Sea owner.
