Anyone have the above referenced aquarium? Is there a white stand available for it?

Found the tank, but it is from the Australia website...

It is on the Algae Barn website. I only see it there if I do a google search of the tank and type in algae barn in the search.
However if I go to the AB website and try to find it there, can’t do it.
Hopefully Algae Barn will chime in and guide me.

Ok I’m wrong. It is on the AB website lol…but the question still remains. Is there a white cabinet for it?

Hi there,

The 450 desktop mini comes with a black base or grey base, which also contains the ATO. We also have the Reef 500 S2, which has a white or black stand. The 500 Reef is a 30-gallon display, 8-gallon sump, and 2-gallon ATO chamber, making the total operating volume 40 gallons.

please let us know if you have any other questions!

Unfortunately I’m limited to 20 gal in my new apartment.
If I could quickly figure out a stand to put it on, I’d probably jump on getting a 450 mini.
I already ordered a Waterbox Cube 20 but it’s back ordered.

Not sure which direction you went, but as a former Red Sea reefer AIO cube owner (gen 1), I can say I’m highly impressed with my Cade 450. Don’t get me wrong, I did like my Red Sea AIO too, but having had both now I can see a build quality difference from the skimmer, to the ATO chamber, to having better organizational choices with the carrier boxes that organize media in the back. Hope that helps :)

I am a current CADE owner and a previous Red Sea owner. I do like the quality that CADE provides and would have went that route if the aquarium came with a stand.
That said, I went with the Waterbox 35.2, which is 33g. I’m impressed with the stand as it’s metal t slot framed and gives me peace of mind. I got it up and running yesterday and we are currently cycling.
