Hey reefers!!
Trying to get back into the hobby and I'm stuck between 12G ReefCasa and 20 G waterbox. I've had a 10G waterbox before and the starphire glass is absolutely amazing. The only problem is that they don't have the 10Gs anymore. 20G is a bit too large for me.
ReefCasa's 12G is perfect in terms of size but after watching several videos, the glass looks a bit murky/fuzzy (not as sharp as WB). I just can't shake that feeling. Would hate my tank if the glass is indeed fuzzy. Does anyone who owns / has seen a RC in real life shed some light please?

I have a Waterbox 15g peninsula and it’s well built with clear glass

I have the ReefCasa studio 18, the glass is really clear. The RC definitely beats my standard 20gal long in terms of color and clarity of the glass but I can't speak to Waterbox since I never had one.

I was gonna get the ReefCasa 12 but another reefer sold his entire WaterBox 10 setup as he was getting out of the hobby. Ended up buying it. :')
I guess ReefCasa will probably be my upgrade tank.

Just for future searches... I have JBJ (65 RFP), IM (10 and 30L), Fluval (Flex 9) and Reef Casa (Flat 6 and Studio 12) AiO tanks. The glass quality of the Reef Casa tanks is very nice. The RC tanks are my two newest ones, and I have zero complaints.
