I'm ready to upgrade all of my nano tanks and combine them into one large system.
In your opinion, money somewhat aside, what would you go with and why?

Some side notes:
70-100 gallon
I prefer the lagoon style or at least a wide footprint
Rimless pref.
No lid (hanging lights+ato)
I'd want a refugium in the sump
Interested in the filter roller things, as I've always just shoved floss in the nano compartment
Not big on Skimmer usage, I know its beneficial so I will consider although I just have trouble with them and think they are a pain
Starfire/low iron
I can build or order the stand to fit custom

Thanks for any input
 
I vote waterbox frag system. Hits every criteria you mentioned, although you’re probably going to have to modify the sump to fit in the clarisea. - I did it on mine and it was relatively simple.

 
I love water box and that's a top choice so far. A couple of the smaller ones are water box with no problems.
Not a fan of red sea, maybe it's the horror stories maybe just nothing great. I have the red sea max nano in the mix as well lol.


Only problem with the frag tanks is although I like the lagoon footprint I still want some height like 20" or so.. hmm I'm picky lol
 
What about sump? I've looked at trigger systems a lot. Eshopps too. Closest thing I've had to a sump is an aquaclear mod
 
Deep Blue used to make "Reef Ready" 60gal and 80gal rimless lagoon tanks that came with a built in corner overflow and plumbing. I had the 60gal for a while and loved it - paired it up with a Trigger Systems sump.
