Hi all! I am upgrading my biocube32 and trying to decide between two different options (SR120 and INT100).

My goals are:
  • Support a yellow tang and ideally, foxface - with a mixed reef
  • Be relatively contained system (no ext) for aesthetics as this will be in the living room I share with my wife and family
  • Allow for the unexpected. I’m early in the hobby being only one great year into my used facebook marketplace biocube
I have a large enough wall that the 6ft SR120’s footprint is not a problem.

I’m trying to keep the tank & stand under $3k shipped (kind of doable with current 50% off on made to order tanks at IM).

I think I’d be happy with either option - but would appreciate thoughts from more experienced folks!

Thanks!

Lucas
 
I have run an SR80 for about a year now, and I love it! AIO tanks are so much easier once they're established. I would recommend running filter rollers if you are interested in having a super clean tank.
