Red Sea 250 vs JBJ 65

hdsoftail1065 · Nov 10, 2018

So we are tossing around the idea of a 4th tank. My wife is looking at the Red Sea 250 and the JBJ 65. She has couple of questions wanted me to ask the group.

1. What are the pro's and cons bewteen the two?

I know what's going to happen with this next question, but I'm going to ask anyway...

2. What is the better constructed setup between the two?

3. If you own one of the two, what are your dislikes?

I have a RS Reefer 250 and love it. I've had AIOs and the IM 10G was ok for a really small tank but the IM 30G long was a pain. I couldn't get all of the equipment I wanted in it behind the false wall. But then I can't get all of the equipment in the cabinet of the Red Sea. I'm having to set up a small cabinet just to house the electronics and ATO reservoir. But I love my Reefer and it was worth the price. I bought a custom sump for it, a Synergy Reef Triton method design and can't wait to get it going.

Nice feedback, thank you.
