Looking to order one of these soon. Has anyone seen one of these set up and have an opinion on it over the R90 or R120? Thanks!
 
I have a r90 and a r150 shallow. Really depends on what you are planning to do with the tank. I utilize the r90 as a mixed reef display and the r150 shallow is being set up as a frag grow out tank. The 16 inch depth makes it very easy to work in the tank, maintain, light etc and is very cool to look at from above. The shallow tank doesn’t look as nice from the front and if it were a primary display I would always favor a deeper setup.
 
I’ve got the 120 and have nothing bad to say about it! Get the bigger size you won’t regret it.

I ordered the R120 shallow and am very excited! I’ve been reading your post for recommendations on setup. This’ll be my first bigger reef tank. I ordered 2x Nero 5’s, a Sicce SDC 6.0, dual 200W heaters, an Apex controller and a Simplicity 120 skimmer.
