Realistically: What tank would you get right now if you get a new one?

[Doctorgori]

Anything new rimless and without these dang blasted internal overflows and light blocking horizontal top braces like my Aqueon...
Red Sea or whomever

 

[Ameer214]

I want a Innovative Marine EXT 150. I dont need custom or a sump. IM seems like they are the only ones that don't come with a sump. Also, current tanks is IM as well. It is 9 years old and doing fine.

 

[DJTJ]

I am very happy with my current 350 and I have been looking for another tank where I can focus on one type of coral!

 

[Lightspeed]

CADE REEF S2 2100. The best store bought tank around without a single doubt.

The features of this display out bang anything within range of the maket price point, and i would willingly forego my custom Barrier Reef display in the blink of an eye for the S2 2100.

I get my tank tomorrow!!

Planet 72x24x30” with Starphire front, black silicone and external overflow.

No idea how to get it into my house yet. Can’t find anyone to help.

 

[Protodad]

Outside of those with their “last tank” aren’t we all always on the search for something better?

Currently want something eurobraced, 90-120 gallons, aluminum stand in white with a solid ghost overflow. Brand isn’t a huge deal to me vs quality.

 

[Heady2874]

Ok this isn't a question about crazy dream sizes and swimming pool reef tanks! HA!

Being realistic, if you could get any tank from any manufacturer right now what would it be and why?

If you already have the tank you would choose tell us which one it is please!

[Heady2874]

I would get the new Cade!

 

[rusty hannon]

Reading all the replys and mostly folks want to go bigger and that's awesome, 20 years ago we had a 120 and loved it but the maintenance and cost of stocking was costly and tiring. I just orders the tank of my dreams ,its a 70 g cade. Upper and lower weir, built in twin circulation pumps set on wave ,aluminum and glass stand that opens on 3 sides w control panel and for buying in November sand rock, salt and all chemical s needed to start and cycle. Plus being disabled its easier to maintain. But saying that I have to b honest, we also have a 55g w a 26 g sump and a 20 g split tank and a 30 g nano so probably more work than one large tank.lol so much for easier maintenance

 

[jimfish98]

I said yes but only because I would like to go larger. Telecommuted for 10+ years and the tank always is in the office with me to enjoy all day and I am limited to a 4ft wide section on the wall. If I had an office/house that was ideal for me to do more, I would absolutely swap it out for the largest of the new promax series from Waterbox.

 

[Vremrey]

my new tank just arrived. An AquaVim moon view 145.
this will keep me busy this winter.

 

[Corgigirl]

CADE 1800 looks AWESOME! maybe @AlgaeBarn can gift me one!

CADE REEF 1800 S2

The 1800 series 2 brings high volume filtration, a generous media and macroalgae refugium system, and the highest quality manufacturing and design to this large 221 gallon total capacity system! **Please note- White Stands are available for preorder and are expected Spring 2024** Use code...

www.algaebarn.com

Yep, I was hoping to win that one too.

 

[deepblue68]

I would get an cade i really like the design.

 

[RobMcC]

I voted other, as I recently pulled the trigger on two new IM aquariums (112 INT and 200 EXT). They’ve been delivered, but I haven’t been able to set them up yet.

Planet Aquariums!! Not the cheapest option....but build quality is outstanding.

 

[scabbedwings616]

I put other cause I really love the tanks I have right now. But would I want another one that is a different from what I have now, hell yeah I would. I want a few more tanks to add to the collection I have right now. I love what I have now and can manage it very well. I would want to get into the 300g to 400g tanks And keep my current setups I have right now.

 

[AlexG]

I would build another DIY tank at this point since my current aquarium is a temporary setup. After building one custom tank I cannot see why I would not do it again for the challenge and to make exactly what I want.

 

[CanuckReefer]

Built my own tank. Its just what I wanted.

This is special.....dang. Beautiful setup, doesnt dominate but say's simply 'come look at me'.... well done indeed.

 

[BaysEndReef]

I'd go with a simple Red Sea Reefer 250.

 

[CanuckReefer]

I would love my 90 gallon bowfront back. Big crack years back and made an 'emerg ' purchase of a 90 straight front( $$$ involved) . I wasn't repairing it...hope to get another similar this coming year. The bowfront seemed to add more to the room in terms of viewing, not sure why. Optics I assume....
