Best 100 to 139G Dream tank Selection

oneilwiz · Jan 29, 2018

Hello everyone,
I have been on the fence between three tanks/manufacturers but having a hard time to make the decision as I never owned any of these manufacturers. This is my ultimate dream that I have to keep under 139G.

What am looking for?

Tank that is 100 to 130G
preferable dimension 48L x 24 or 31W
Must have overflow externally, for more real estate

Tanks in consideration;

Elos 120XL
Redsea Penninsula 500
Reefsavvy or Crystal dynamics

Any of you guys own any of the brand tanks above especially a peninsula 500?

I heavily debated the peninsual series from Red Sea. Decided against it. As cool as it looks, I just thought it would be a pain to aquascape, couldn't visualize clean power head placement, and honestly couldn't find a spot in my house for it! I opted for the reefer 525XL which is at the lower end of your wanted range.

I understand @mjlash22 I am thinking as well as I will only have 2 viewing panel as I will be setting the tank not in peninsula style, it will be up against a wall. How much space does the 525xl overflow takes ? Any pics?. Hey sundog101 do you have a reef savvy tank ?

Are you asking how much space the internal overflow takes up in the tank? If so, it sticks out from the back of the tank 4" and is 10.5" long. Height wise, it runs pretty much from bottom to top of the tank.
