New to the forums here and hoping to learn a lot!
I’m going to be getting back into the hobby and have decided that a 65 gallon (36” width) tank will be perfect for my situation. I have been doing a ton of research and have been trying to decide between buying and AIO or going the DIY route and creating the perfect setup. I am looking to do a fish and coral tank, and definitely want to have a sump this time around.
The pro star seems like a really great deal and looks beautiful. My only concern is that a lot of people have said the ATO and sump aren’t great, and the plumbing is cheap. I’d hate to spend the money on this AIO only to change it all out.
So my alternative option is to buy a 65G and do the drilling and plumbing myself, which I’m more than capable doing, but the downside is I can’t find a rimless tank cheap enough that makes this option more cost effective, especially when you factor in the stand and overflows etc. Plus I really would like the rimless look.
For those of you familiar with the ProStart 90, do you think it was worth it? Or did you have to change out too much stuff.
Thanks in advance!
