I am not sure when but I will be doing a new tank. Trying to decide between the two, they take same floor space. The reefer 300xl will require the purchase of skimmer and return pump so cost is a little more. The E-260 has a little more volume than reefer 250 and 9 gallons less than reefer 260. The E-260 does not have overflow projecting into tank. I don't need to keep upgrading equipment. The e260 would add an ato and doser and have the rest of the space in cabinet for supplies. Looking for recommendations especially from those that have owned E-260 or reefer 300xl. I won't be going larger at a later date already been there, 300 gallon. I don't care about filter socks as I stopped using them. The reefer 300xl can add refugium but not required. I am also going back to sand from being bare bottom for years.
