I recently moved across the country and had to tear down my beloved 250. After giving it some time, I'm ready to fire things back up - but I want to go smaller. I have a space that's about 36in wide that would work great.
I'm thinking about a Red Sea tank - but I've never done an all-in-one type setup. Does anyone have any specific tank they would recommend, since Red Sea seems to have a bazillion options. I want to maximize my water volume for that size - let's call it 24w x 36x - then however tall it can be.
I have a full APEX system so I don't need their built in controller, and I'm going to probably just use a radion.
Waterbox is the other brand - but I'm just curious if there are definite pros/cons about any of these brands? The thing I worry most about is the plumbing. When I hard plumb I use about a gallon of glue and make sure everything is tight. These setups with just clicking things into place worries me.
Thanks for the help y'all - glad to be back!
