new 600litre tank

[meekoli]

i am thinking of starting up my first reef tank, i have had a few tropical tanks .But this this new to me and the more I read about the hobby the more it seems like walking a tightrope .Staggering from one near disaster to another. hopefully this is because peeps with no problems don't post. However my current delemma is wether to go with Waterbox or Red sea for the tank. The waterbox comes with tank, cabinet and sump for 3600 euro and the red sea g3 comes fully equipped for "eeek" 10000 euro kind of plug and play set up in your house. I'm in rep of ireland. there are just 2 stores that do marine where I am. By the time i kit the waterbox with really good equipment I am up over 8000 any thoughts on this

saltwater can be very overwhelming to get into but once you take the plunge its much easier than you'd think, as far as the red sea vs water box I would go water box as I've seen countless posts of red sea seam failures as well as their reputation for quality issues personally I would go innovative marine
