Best Reef Tank Setups?

[JakeLikesReefs]

Hello,

I am looking to buy a new reef tank setup...Tank, stand, sump etc. What is the best brand to look at? I have seen the cadlights, sc aquariums, Red Sea. I would like to see pros and cons of all and if there seems to be a "clear" front runner.

Thanks,
Jake

Throw Elos in there for the high end.
And for the more affordable all-in-one (no sump) setups take a look at Innovative Marine.

I have been eye balling the 48" crystalline series from planet aquariums @JakeLikesReefs basically a red sea reefer 425xl but for around 1500-1600

If you do decide on IM don't get the stand because I've read it's particle board garbage
