Aquarium custom buil or not

[raz7728]

Hello.My name is Raz and I am thinking on starting the saltwater journey.I have a small experience with fresh water over the years but zero salt.Right now I try to figure out if is worth paying 450€ for 80/45/45 aquarium build or just go for a SUNSUN 90/45/45 at 160€.The only problem is that I cannot find any info on SUNSUN online.(only bad reviews about their canister filters :).Any advice will be appreciated.

I'd say for smaller tanks go pre-built.

Thx nuxx. My only concern is that I am not sure about the sunsun tank.The price is more than ok I think , but if any issues on short term is like throwing half of the money needed for a custom build.

If you can’t find any reviews of the product you’re looking at but all the reviews for their other products are bad, that should tell you everything you need to know.
Sun sun is trash quality on everything they do. I’d stay away just out of principle
