UNS vs WB vs IM

[LowDime]

Good morning everyone. I am looking at stepping up to a 60 inch tank ideally a peninsula style as it sits in a corner. But looking for real life first hand experience of owners of UNS WB OR IM tanks. I believe UNS is the new kid on the block and has the fancy mitered corners. But they are 1000 more than the same WB 6025.

I personally have experience with IM and WB, only reason I don't have experience with UNS is because it is extremely challenging to source them if you live in America. If you're in Australia or even some parts of Europe I believe they are more readily available but I am yet to even see a store selling any of the UNS tanks around me.

I personally believe that IM is overpriced for what it is. Mighty Jet return pumps are a plus side but I feel like they are just significantly overpriced.

I have a waterbox REEF 130.4 that I bought 3 years used. The tank has now been running for another year and I have yet to have any issues with it.

Take this with a grain of salt but I would personally go with the Waterbox tank if I was in your shoes.

I am going to throw Eshopps into the ring of options. The tanks are a little expensive, but the quality is top-notch!

I personally dislike eshopps. The instructions for assembly don't make sense a lot of the time.

Can you explain why? I just purchased an IM aquarium and I think it was a great price.
