Wait for Reefer 525XL or Elos 160?

So now I just had another thought. The new Red Sea Peninsula tanks really look like the Elos tanks, with the side overflow and the full see through look that I want. (Without having to peal any film off). dang, another choice to consider. The biggest plus is none of these Peninsula tanks have holes drilled in them, lol

Man, I didn't know you had a thread going!

Lol, ya man! Give me some input! No, really, As I just told you on the phone, I think I'm waiting out the Red Sea drilled tank debacle. I'm gunna get a 525xl when they have sold all of the drilled (ie stupid) tanks. Gotta wait it out. As many have said, nothing in this hobby happens quickly.

There's definitely some choices out there... although some are probably not feasible to get here in the states. I would maybe be all over a Giesemann tank if they were available here. They have a ton of customizable options on the finish, front glass doors etc.

Aquarium Systems' new tank line looks VERY promising... L' Aquarium. Although it's virtually a Red Sea Reefer knockoff, it actually has some slightly superior features to the Reefer. They use to have a website specifically for this series of new tanks, but they have taken it down in the last couple of weeks due to them building a new site. They feature larger sumps than the Reefer, have leveling feet built in, dual outlets on the return and bunch of other little tidbits. You can sneak some shots on their Facebook once in awhile.
