Hi! My name is Erin and I live in Central, PA. I’m a complete newbie (I do have freshwater tanks). I have wanted a reef tank for many years. I’m just starting to plan my tank. I’m looking to get an AIO system. I was wondering what AIO systems people have and like or which they recommend. I need a length of 43” or less. The top three AIO systems that I have been considering are: Red Sea Max E-260, Waterbox AIO 50.3, IM SR Pro 60 AIO (all with there stands). Any input, other options, or advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Welcome Erin! I once had a JBJ and I was not a fan. I graduated to a bigger tank with a sump. That one was just too small. Then again, it held one giant red hairy legged hermit crab.
I have heard good things about Waterbox.
I wish you luck... welcome to the reef!

Thank you! It is last on my list. I’m really leaning toward the Red Sea Max E 260.

Whichever you choose, it's going to be an adventure. Red Sea is a reputable brand and many reefers have created stunning tanks with them. Let us know how we may help.
