Best Reef Ready System

[cstephens94]

I currently have a 20gal cube AIO. I would like to upgrade to a 70-90gal display. I am looking at Reef Ready Systems and comparing to custom. Obviously, custom is well, custom and more expensive. Reef Ready Aquariums are all over the place in reviews about durability, reliability, customer service, design, etc. I'm open to all ideas. Waterbox, has the Plus Edition that comes with everything under the sun. RedSea has some great bundles but it's RedSea..... Innovative Marine look like they're a great option but kind of pricey. Would honestly like to have a wood stand and canopy but most of these come with their own stand that isn't exactly the aesthetic, my wife would approve of. I want to ultimately, get the most bang for my buck without regretting my decision 2 years down the road when a seam blows out or something fails catastrophically. I don't want to just pigeon hole myself into one of the mainstream brands. I've heard Nyos, Neptunian Cube, UNS, and others. Can anyone help me out?

Can confirm, my wife also didn’t like the IM stand aesthetic and it landed me in the doghouse for about a week! (But I love the tank)

Honestly, Eshopps tanks are amazing if you are willing to spend the money for one. We have a 180g in our warehouse, and we absolutely love it

I wish they had nice wood options!

Do they have reef ready bundles?

I just got a UNS R150 set up. Looks amazing and was very easy to put together. The stand is really nice Aluminum panels that are magnetic.

I don't have it up and running yet (all my pumps and rock etc just came in today)
