Best 100+ gallon reef tank 2026

[sicknabina63]

Hey y’all,

I am looking to upgrade my current set up from a Redsea 300 G2. I am looking for a 4ft tank and want to hear what everyone’s take is on the most durable/best tank on the market. I am currently looking at brands like Redsea S Series, Waterbox, and glass cages. Would love some recommendations and experience!

Glass Cages made me two (2) 150 gallon tanks with stands; that was 5 years ago... still going strong.

Do they provide help in plumbing the system? Does it come with plumbing? That is something I don’t have experience with.

Not per se, but they can cut the necessary holes to match the overflow box you wish to use. You can then get plumbing help here on R2R (and by watching a ton of videos). I did all my own plumbing without prior experience; but I did a lot of research first.

Thank you for the insight, I have been leaning that way because of things I have heard about durability of the other brands.

My pleasure! There is really no better feeling than a brand new custom tank.
