Hi All,
After practicing for 2 years on my Red Sea Reefer 250, the time has come to scale up this LPS coral passion. I am hesitating between 2 models, the Red Sea S850 and the WB infinia 215.5. I am based in the EU and in Appartement, so WB is a bit less spread here, so difficult to judge from a visit to a LFS.
Here is what I like about the Red Sea S850:
The extra tank in the sump (for frags)
The extra room in the stand (the sump does not take up all the space), to store stuff.
The Rollermat ready sump
Here is what I don't like about the Red Sea S850:
No electrical cabinet
No manifold
Here is what I like about the Waterbox Infinia 215.5:
The Manifold
the Electrical cabinet
the Aluminium black doors!
Here is what I don't like about the Waterbox Infinia 215.5:
No room in the cabinet
My project is an LPS-dominated tank, with 15-20 fish.
The sump will have a refugium and a skimmer (Nyos). 1 UV (just in case, therefore manifold is a +).
1 or 2 media reactors. 1 Rollermat. 1 Mastertronic.
As I am not really gifted with my hands, I would like to avoid as much as possible modding, the best I can do is fair cable management.
I would like to hear from you guys about this choice, what do you consider important for the selection?
I like both brands and I think those are 2 solid choices, but I would like to have the best for my use case.
