Hi Guys,

I’m thinking about upgrading my current tank. I’ve had a fluval spec marine (60L/16g) for about 2 years now. This was my first saltwater tank and am now looking to go bigger.

I’m just doing some research at the moment to work out the ideal system and the cost etc. I don’t want to go huge so have been looking at around 120l/26g size tanks.

now, I don’t know whether to go for another AIO type system like the Fluval Flex Marine which is 123l and includes the light etc (https://charterhouse-aquatics.com/s...l-flex/fluval-flex-marine-123l-aquarium-black) or to go with one which has a sump. I’ve looked at the TMC Habitat 60 for example (https://www.swelluk.com/tmc-reef-ha...pVfD_BwE#reef-habitat-60-aquarium-cabinet-oak)

I’d be interested in hearing your pros & cons and any other recommendations.

Thanks!
 
I really like the DD reef pro aquariums. They come in various sizes from 60cm to 180cm. Stand comes fully assembled and is solid. Plus I think for Rm what you get they are a great price too. All available through Charterhouse too
