Which aio should i go for?

[Jake_the_reefer]

So I am planning on getting another 20g aio tank as a frag growout tank but I am torn between two ideas. I am wondering if I should get the waterbox cube 20g aio kit or the Fiji cube 20g long aio conversion kit. Getting the Fiji would save me some money but a rather negligible amount. However I'm wondering if the Fiji would be better because it's a longer tank and not a cube.

If you want a frag tank/grow out, why not get a lagoon style tank?

How much can I get away with? I'm trying to stay under 220 for the tank its self and 220 for lights

Part of your decision is going to be based on what you are wanting to keep and what you want your aquascape to look like. Good luck!

Not worried about scape. It's going to be frag racks barebottom

It’s a tad over your budget. For $350 you can get the IM fusion lagoon pro bundle which has the return pump, good media baskets, screen top etc. you should be able to find them local for less. There’s one in my area right now for $200. You will get much more room for frags though because water volume is spread out

Shoot! Get the im and just get a aqua mars led. That puts you at $450

I’m getting an aqua mars to hang over my jbj 24 as a grow out tank. My buddies have some and love them.

Then, as other have mentioned, I would definitely consider going with a shallower tank where you have more area and less water for the light to penetrate.

Nice! I have one myself and I’m loving it so far! Even, my sps corals are happy with it.
