Hi! My name is Derek but my friends call me D. So please feel free.
I’ve had a 32 bio cube for over 7 years now. I’ve done very well with it and for the most part I love it. I’ve learned, often times, the hard way what will and what will not thrive under the hood of a BC and it’s limited lighting. 7 years of diligent water changes. 7 years of giving my Kenya tree…well, let’s just call it grooming on a regular basis. And everyone I know in the hobby has some frags from my Kenya trees. It’s been wonderful but alas, I’m pretty much done. Can’t really add anything, there’s really no room and that’s one of the joys of the hobby.
so I’m looking at a new tank.
I think the Red Sea 250 would be just the right size for my apartment and everyone I talk to tells me to do my own lighting.
ok, great. I’m going to buy a new Red Sea!
Ewwwww… lol look at the water boxes that have mysteriously appeared in my Facebook feed? It’s like they knew I was thinking about purchasing a new thank…Hmmmmm
Talked to my LFS. Oh yeah get the Red Sea, we know nothing about the Water Box! Looked on line. Lots of opinions. Lots of prices. There’s only about an $800 dollar difference between buying on line, direct and going they my LFS! If it were a few bucks surrrrrre! I’d buy at my local fish store but $800? That’s a lot of live rock, a good chunk of the new lights or at least some really cool new corals and or fish. So, any opinions on RS? WB? Where to purchase and what light packages you’d buy?
TIA,
D!
