SC Aquariums??

I also have 1 AI Hydra26 HD light. What’s everyone’s opinion on the biggest tank this would cover?
 
The sump quality is great, I found the skimmer worked really well and was able to pull some dark nasty skimmate, but it was a bit noisy for me. Not so loud you could hear it in a different room but noisy. Used it for awhile then replaced with a Reef Octopus.
 
SCA skimmer rated at 230 gallons is on top of two different lists for best skimmer of 2019. Waiting on the 150 gallon AIO as was $2499. Is much less than Red Sea or Waterbox. That and 3 AI Hydra 26 HD to start, maybe go to 4...just got these.

That's interesting. From what I've read on here and other forums, users give them mediocre reviews at best. I've never seen one recommended outside of the package deal. Got links? EDIT: found 2 sites recommending them that are Amazon affiliate marketing based... not much thought goes into those lists in my experience, moreso there to encourage you over to Amazon to buy the product(s) and they get a cut... gets annoying how much of that crap there is these days. Why I look for actual peoples' experience with the products vs some dude that read a few Amazon reviews and threw together a list to make a quick buck

Also relavant to OP, there's currently a thread going discussing QC issues with SCA, he received the tank and stand 1/4" off from one side to the other. Not sure how much progress he's made getting his issue resolved.
