Hey guys!
I've been in the hobby since last year and man is it addicting! A few months after starting my 70 gallon I ran across a good deal on a Waterbox 30.2 AIO that I couldn't pass up so I snagged that one too!
I am already wanting to upgrade my 70 gallon to 120-150 gallon tank. I'm going to make myself wait a year but as a planner- it helps me to start figuring out now what all I want and need to upgrade. Plus-- that dang husband of mine likes to throw this "B" word around (Budget) that is insanely annoying so while waiting a year I can get a solid idea on what to -ugh- budget for.
I am looking at a Waterbox 180.5 currently but am open to other suggestions. The space I have will accommodate a 5 foot tank perfectly but I am trying to keep the width 24 in (preferably) to 25 in with the Waterbox being somewhere like 25.3 in to keep our walkway open enough we do not have to move our couch's end tables if our elderly family members come over with their walkers/wheel chairs.
If you have the Waterbox 180.5 please give me your pro's and con's. I do run a chiller on my tank so having that extra space in the cabinet would be great. It is an eye sore having it outside our current tank.
After all the things I have seen about RedSea tanks I don't want to take that chance but anyone else that has personal experience with another low iron- ultra clear tank that is plumbed to be quiet I would appreciate the suggestions. Our current tank is noisy and the sump layout makes changing filter socks a PAIN!
