Hi All,

So after 10 years with me Aqua One Reef 300 I’m looking to upgrade the tank and have narrowed down my choice to the DD Aqua pro reef 1350 at 432l or the new Red Sea reefer peninsula 500 at 519l with a cost difference or around £250 for the Red Sea but it does include a ATO that the DD doesn’t.

Originally I was going for the DD Aqua pro reef 1500 but it is about 10cm too long for the space it needs to go into!

Any experience/thoughts with either tank would be great, I am leaning towards the DD because of the horror stories I have read on hear about RS tanks but equally I would like the extra volume the RS offers….. what would you do??
 
Build my own tank the exact dimensions I want
