New tank

billybwf · May 19, 2020

I built my last tank long ago. Looking at a Red Sea reefer xl 550. Never had a pre built. I realize there is still a lot of personalization with equipment but is it a good way to get back into it.

What size tank you looking for? And are you thinking more like an All In One? Or full tank plus sump?

Also not sure if you did a welcome thread whenever you joined or if I replied to it or not already, but...

Lol I somehow skipped the part about the Red Sea Reefer XL 550.

I have seen alot of people on here with Red Sea Reefers of all sizes, and they seem to be satisfied and happy with them. I myself am torn between getting a Red Sea or a Waterbox in the future whenever I do decide to (and have the funds for) a larger aquarium.

Also, 109 gallons is large in my eyes, but once again I have two nanos(10 gallon and 29 gallon), so anything bigger than what I have seems gigantic. Still should be plenty of space for corals and an awesome aquascape. And fish. Much more selection with a 109 gallon than my little 29 gallon lol.

Have you set it up yet, or only just ordered it and waiting (im)patiently for it?
