Thoughts on Gieseman Tanks

[Bob Weigant]

Thinking about what tank I may want in my for my retirement years. I like the look of the stand and tank

I have the LINEA marine and am quite happy with it.

A few things to consider though:

1. Check if your return pump actually fits into the return chamber of their sump. I had it customized because otherwise it would have been too small for my Sycce Syncra.
2. Their sump has no algae refugium by default, if you want one, you will have to tell them and customize it. The price difference is negligible imo.
3. The filter cup-section in the sump is a bit odd. It's a piece of plastic with two holes in it which causes a lot of water to simply run over it and loudly enter the next chamber. I've glued a small 90° plastic piece to it so the water is forced through the cups/filter socks, but still can run over in case the filter socks get too clogged.

Little disclaimer: It's a pretty new tank. I used it to replace the ticking time bomb called RedSea Reefer . I now have the same volume which much clearer and thinner glass, full metal furniture, hand-applied silicone, and a custom sump. In the end it was still cheaper than buying a new RedSea that I don't trust anymore.

Thanks for the reply. I saw this tank and just wondered if anybody even had one
