New Tank - Advice Needed

bkv1997 · Oct 11, 2020

I've been out of the Hobby for almost 8 years now, but use to have a very successful large SPS tank. I'm wanting to get back into things this time around with something much smaller and hoping the additional technology can help with keeping things going while I'm out of town with work.

I'd like a nice tank/stand, but have the option to choose my own sump/pump/lighting, etc if possible.

I'd like to be able to have more room in cabinet for 2-part, ATO, & Controller, but realize this is challenging with smaller setups.

A taller stand is also a plus!

Thanks in advance for pointing me in the correct direction!

There are quite a few nice companies to look at. Innovative marine, Red Sea, waterbox, Cade, Fiji cube. Most include the sump and plumbing but everything else would be yours to customize. All are rimless nice stands with room to set up a controller and dosing board

IM Lagoon are very nice they have some nice new styles, and you can purchase a stand, the problem with the manufacturers stand they either give you a small sump and more room for other stuff, or a larger sump with little space for other stuff, so I would concentrate on the manufactures spec on the sumps, look at the pictures and build threads to see what you like.
