Tank Recommendations

mpatient · Mar 28, 2019

I have decided to finally upgrade from my Bio Cube 32 mixed reef to 90-120 gallon. As much as I love the build quality of the Red Sea Reefer series, I simply am not a fan of rimless tanks. Not to mention I am not ready to plunk down more than my monthly mortgage on the basic 425 XL setup with no filtration or lighting included. I have been ammassing equipment / dry rock as I find great deals used or new, and I only lack the skimmer and lights for which is dependent on the tank I purchase.

Need opinions on a solid manufacturer of reef ready tanks with stands and canopies. I don't need top of the line, just a good rep. I may even go used if the right deal comes along, but would like to know what manufacturers to stay away from,

SC aquariums seem to be quite good, but there is no frame there.

Definitely take a look at SC aquariums!!! Quality product for sure but as mentioned no frame.

Thanks! They are on the list! I don’t mind not having a frame, I just don’t care for the one top rimless look.

Check with your local fish store.
To me, it sounds like you want a reef-ready tank that's either a standard 90 (4x1.5x2) or a standard 120 (4x2x2). They should be able to find you one easily.

Deep blue is a popular manufacturer.
