Welcome to R2R.
Red Seas are nice but at one point I had 3 drilled tanks with sump , one being 80 rimless .125 gallon, 90 gallon.
I bought 2 of them tanks on Craigslist and one from local reef store for 1/3 of what they would be if bought new at store .
I only invested $400 in the 80 gallon deep blue rimless tank and cabinet with r 300 eshopps
sump with refugium and pump..That alone new would be close to 2k with those items I looked at all tanks and they were like new so that’s my thoughts on getting the most out of your money . I have seen used Red Sea tanks for sale here as well for good prices . I don’t think I would ever buy a new tank with so many people out there that wants to get rid of there tanks and equipment.
Good luck
