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

[Drew_E36]

So I would love to have at least a 50 gallon tank with the whole set up including a stand and light and everything omg I’m getting so excited about just thinking about it!!

 

[WvAquatics]

Right now space would not allow. But once I move I'm looking into getting a 96x30x25 300 gallon. With a 100g wide 72x24x13 sump. That's the plan for now haha.

I bought a 450g custom Planet Aquarium tank. The only complaint about a big tank is the cost and the room needed for equipment. I have had the tank over a year, it’s has taken me time to save up for the equipment that I wanted.

I want that new waterbox 320 pro max. Please Santa?!

 

[Drew_E36]

Honestly I would love to have at least a 50 gallon with an integrated system and everything then I would just go from there and have fun

 

[PirateMonkeyReefer]

I Just upgraded to a 200 Deep but eventually I want to move to a 300g deep euro baced custom. With maybe slightly more length then height.

I just started looking for/dreaming about a new tank. I have a 90 gallon, 48x18 by 24 inches tall with a single overflow on the left rear panel. I really want a shorter tank! 18- 20 inches tall would be perfect. 60-72 inches long and 24 inches wide (18 would do) and NO GIANT CENTER GLASS BRACE! LOL! Something I can reach into without getting my armpits wet, lol! It looks like it will have to be a custom build.

IM EXT 170
59” x 30” x 21.7”

If I had to pick an already made tank then maybe one of the bigger waterbox (180-220) but realistically if I can afford it I would like a custom tank 60L x 30D x 20-22H. I hope when the new house comes one of those will be an option, with my preference being the custom.

Looking at the IMs but would go INT.

See Chessman's comment... Innovative Marine makes a tank with those dimensions.

If by integrated you mean all in one, I'd recommend NOT getting the Waterbox 50.3. Their other AIO systems seem ok but this one has such a small skimmer compartment that I could not find one sufficient for the size of the tank. Depends on your bio load of course, but that was a real bummer... had to add a hang-on-back Aquamaxx to mine.

AGE with the pvc bottom. 120/48/24 would be the dimensions of choice. Rimless if somehow that would be possible.....

corey

 

[Skeeter4890]

Well I don't even have a tank right now so of course I would get a different tank lol. but considering maybe a nuvo 40gal AIO just because i may be moving within the next year or 2 and don't want to set up a bigger tank and have to move it.

 

[Dabcrusher]

This is what I would love to get, but in a Peninsula style, if available.

Hit em up they do custom tanks if its possible im sure Sean would see what he can do

I'd love to, but not in my covid-19 budget lol

 

[FastandCurious]

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!

I love my tank! 70 gal waterbox reefer cube and it's fits perfectly as a separator between living from and kitchen. For my first sw tank, I'm very happy!

I hear ya im lucky enough to work at algaebarn and were a essential business so we have got to wirk since it started

 

[ID-Reefer]

Short of some sort of amazing custom tank I am really happy with my new Reefer 3XL 900. Its twice the size of my last tank/system. I love having a bigger tank but Im not sure Id want to go much bigger. Bigger is a lot of work and will take a lot of time and $ to stock. But its fun having the space.

Ask me the same question in 3 years and Ill probably want to double the size again who knows.

I’ll keep that in mind thank you
