Best reef ready tank deal of 2024 - whose looking for a new tank?

[VintageReefer]

In case anyone wants to know the filter sock size is 4x14.

I believe it holds 3 also and they are included

@VintageReefer any word on how many of these systems are still available?

 

[VintageReefer]

They had 30. By the time I announced here they had 23. Now I believe they have 20 or 21 last I heard

Post pics of everything when you two get yours. I'm curious on quality and stand leveling, etc. I'm like 90%sure I'm out but it still pulls at me. sigh....

So by my calculations in sizing the display tank is 66 gallons and the sump says 26 with about a gallon of overflow to make it 83 total volume? Is this correct?

No, the aquarium itself is 83gallons. Plus the sump but I don’t know if the sump is 26 gallons full vs 26 “gallons when running” due to baffles and free space



Edit - the sump is 26 gallons if all pumps are off and it’s filled to the brim with water

Oops had it in Cylinder mode lol! Weird default for tank calculator. Great deal!

Mine should be here next Tuesday. I won't be able to set it up till the weekend more than likely. I'll post pictures when it arrives though.

Yes

Just an update on the cabinet, appears to be overbuilt compared to Aqueon and Red Sea stands which gives less internal bracing / supports. I got some info from the mfg:

5/8” marine grade plywood

Outside walls are load bearing

Two internal vertical walls are also functional load bearing supports

Any info on the sumps dimensions width and skimmer chamber especially?

Any info on the sumps dimensions width and skimmer chamber especially?

Sump dimensions 24” x 16” x 16”
26 Gallons

I don’t know the skimmer chamber dimensions but it looks like a good amount of space. I can find out for ya

I estimate skimmer area is 9-10 inches long and 16 deep

Amazing deal for what’s included! The cleanest of clean looks, nice sump and gravity fed ATO. Good looking out @VintageReefer! Perfect size size tank to start out with too. Not as difficult to keep stable as a nano reef, not too big for reasonably priced or used equipment buys. I really like the Bubble Magus Curve skimmers for performance and price with that Sicce skimmer pump. A Curve 5 $200 or 7 $260 would be awesome.

What measurements do you want me to take?

Mine was crated up today and they arranged a pickup with the shipping carrier. I should have it in a week at the most

Also looking at the glass thickness this appears beefier than my current 75g framed tank, as it should be since it’s frameless
