What tank tank buy

[Michael Gentile]

So I have had my starter generic brand Bow front tank for about 9 years now, she is on the end of her cycle. I have been racking my brain looking for a new tank. My current one is only 55 gallons display. I would really love something close to 100g or greater. I have been putting money aside for years, have just over $3,000 saved. I was wondering what would be the best bang for my buck. I really love the layout of the CADE 1200 S2, but it doesn't come with any skimmers or pumps. My current pumps/skimmers/heaters would have to be upgraded. I am also in the market for a good AlgaeReactor, if you guys have any recommendations.

Basically I am looking for a tank that will be not much hassle and has a lot of room for growth in my $3,000 price range around 100 gallons!

PetSmart and Petco usually have nice tanks with stands for decent prices, but they are not drilled

The only reason I suggested it was I got a 125 gallon for less than $500. Stand and lights included.

I have a pair of cades and love them. Very nice tanks and the stands just sold me on them. Feels like a tank and stand for life

so i suggest finding a cheap tank, then getting the stand off of ebay, then you can find so so pumps on amazon with these leds called nicrews, you can then should do a custom sump, try and find a drilled tank though, your sand off of ebay and your dry rock can be off of ebay. there is a really cheap deal there for like 2 a pound. and then your skimmer is something you should invest in and you can get the cheap jebao doser from amazon.

 

[lilithereefer]

you can get a sump baffle kit on amazon or ebay as well. dont feel forced to buy all of the top rated equipment. buying nicrewhyper reef led will probably be the thing to save you the most money. then you can get liek a fluval for a quarintine and there are many hob refugiums out there

 

[lilithereefer]

don't ever get used equipment. there are also powerheads on amazon for pretty cheap instead of nuvos or mp40
