I was planning for a larger tank 120~150gal. At this time we are halfway through building out the basement and hit delays... I expect it to take much longer than expected.

Soo looking for a tank to on the first floor. I am thinking around a 60gal / 36in wide. I have been searching craigslist but haven't seen many in this size go up for sale.

I am looking for comment on these three or any other recommendation. If there are known sales or wait for a sale etc... that would be much appreciated.

considering the following...

CAD Lights

Equip I have at the moment
ecotech L1 return pump
old RIO return pump (never used)
maxspect r420r light
aquitronic aquarium controller
 
What is odd to me in is that the reefer sump is like half of the space available. The CAD lights comes with a sump as well and a pump. I had thought the Red Sea had an aluminum stand underneath but it looks like it is mdf or something. Not sure there is a good justification for for $300/400 more for the red sea. (if all things were the same... and yes i know they are not.)
