Hello Everyone,
Hope all is well. I have debated on this journey for a long time and am getting close to pulling the trigger. This will be a hobby for me and my 8 year old to mess with together. There is no experience at all in my background, or my 8 year old. I have read all I can on tank size, and am considering the red sea reefer 350 (75 gallons) or 425xl (88 Gallons). Please give me all your thoughts and opinions. I have 48" (L) space for the tank. I certainly dont want to bite off more than I can chew, but do want enough space where I can house some pretty cool fish. Bristletooth tang being the biggest. Also, is the upgrade to a 425xl worth the extra money rather than just going with a 350. Not sold on these aquariums but know they will maintain there integrity for the long haul from reviews.
