Hi guys. New here and to saltwater in general. I’m coming from the koi pond side and would like to get into saltwater.
I’m familiar with water chemistry, filtration, and the whole nitrogen cycle. Thats the fun part to me. A good filtration system makes me happy.
Anyway, looking for a tank. I have two options. First is a used Red Reef 130D. Looks to be in good condition. Guy is asking $250 but can probably get it for lower. From what I see, i’d have to upgrade the lighting, pumps, and skimmer eventually and go rimless. But its 30 gallons so thats a plus.
Second option is a new Waterbox Cube 25 Peninsula. While smaller, its newer. But its more expensive and no stand. I like the look however.
I know eventually I will bypass the built in sump and go with one inside the stand. I like tinkering with that.
i’m also open to other options. What do you all recommend for a nano reef?
