I was thinking of going with the Vectra S2? You think I need the M2?

The S2 is plenty actually, so you are good to use that.

I’m really excited to watch this thread. I am highly considering one of these UNS tanks. I’m trying to convince my wife the bigger ones will fit in our new house.

The people need an update, just sayin...

Let me know if you had trouble leveling the tank on your wood style tile. I’m having the same tile put in at my new house and was worried the texture on the tile would make leveling challenging.

No issues at all, just have a second person help out while using the leveling feet.

This is where the UNS tank will be going. Moving out my old IM 25gal Lagoon tank.

I gotta say UNS did a super good job of putting the plumbing together. I love the extra ball valves and the included manifold.
