New to R2R, Ready to Upgrade!

JLandes · Apr 14, 2020

Hey everyone, my name is Justin and I would love to get some feedback on an upgrade from my Biocube 32. I was almost dead set on the Red Sea Reefer 350, but recently came across some other similar options. Does anyone have any experience with the CADlight aquariums. Their newer Versa II 92g and the Artisan ALL Reef 100g both seem like good options for me. What complete or near complete aquarium setups would you guys recommend in the 90ish gallon range? Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you all.

Welcome to R2R and sorry, I do not have much experience with your tank choices, but I do know that Red Sea, Waterbox, and custom tanks are great choices!!

Welcome to R2R! I have heard nothing but good things about red sea's aquariums. However, I personally have a Waterbox and love it.

Hello ! Welcome to the forum .

hopefully you get some first hand reviews that help you make that decision !
I do know shipping from most of these guys is way behind what they’re quoting due to Covid . Just a thought - I know some LFS might have a floor model ready to go

I have a cadlight versa 60g cube plug n play. It is stunning. I think the craftsmanship on the tank itself is top tier. The plumbing and the sump were not that great. I upgraded down the road. More then anything, I really enjoy the glass clarity, the seems and edges. Just a thing of beauty.

Thanks for the feedback. What was wrong with the plumbing and sump? As someone with little to no sump experience, would they work just fine to get started with?
