Looking at the Red Sea Nano Max, really having a hard time deciding

Either one would be a solid choice in my opinion. Ive never had an all in one tank though so cant really comment if one is better than the other. I do like Red Sea products though...

 

[Havoks]

Will let you know for which i decide

 

[Havoks]

Do you think I really need a skimmer?

Do you think I really need a skimmer?

Id say good idea to have one but not a necessity... why?

Just trying to figure out priorities on the new tank

Just trying to figure out priorities on the new tank

I wouldnt worry about buying a new one or upgrading if you already have one. Im using a craptacular fluval sea om my 55 and its workin for me. Cost 60 bucks new i think. It isnt fancy but does the job. Also have a reef octopus in the basement collecting dust since i dont run a sump. So id spend the money elsewhere until ya need a new skimmer

I was asking because am currently not using one, just a canister filter.

 

[Havoks]

Ended up ordering the fusion 20, another ai prime hd and im ato system

 

[Havoks]

Going to change tanks today, will
be changing sandbed, should i get dry or live sand?

 

[Havoks]

Took a while but am done. Check it out

All looking good, 3rd week for my derasa clam, looking happy

Changed pump for a 500gph one, got my canister filter running as a media reactor (while I get two real media reactors) and got the ato running.

@Havoks hows the new tank doin? Im currently chilling in Toronto airport feeling anxious about how my critters are doing. My tank sitter didnt msg me once while i was gone so with any luck tank is still in one piece [emoji14]

 

[Havoks]
