Adam_T Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Hey everyone. I have always ran successful nano aquariums, but im finally about to get my first house and I want a "larger" tank. I am looking for a setup that is at LEAST 75 gallons, because I want to start housing either a.) larger fish such as tangs, or b.)dozens of schooling fish to make the tank very active. Anyway....wanting to get a "setup" system....something from a manufacture. I like the Reef Octopus Luxary aquariums but they only go to a max of 48 gallons, sadly. Elos is way out of my price range for their larger aquariums. Definitely want something that has a tank and stand. I've had custom aquariums built for me in the past, but its a pain to find a good matching stand for those. I hate the standard wood stands with decorative doors and whatnot, and am more into modern looks like the Elos/Octopus stands. My perfect aquarium would have one of the aluminum stands...but I can't find anything on those either. Anyway......I'm thinking, 75g, 90g, or 120/125g. Nothing larger. Any ideas? Link to comment

On the cadlights website it costs over $2000 for all that and a stand. Regardless, I don't skim. :-) I go all softies/LPS and they love the goodies that skimmers remove. Link to comment
Cameron6796 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 On the site if you add the skimmer and stand its the full package i described above with sump tank plumbing stand and skimmer on the site that total 1724$ if u add the lamp tree and reactor then it's over 2000$ But technically the cad is still cheaper plus u don't need a skimmer so even cheaper at 1624$ vs 2000$ for a jumbo aio with nothing else added Link to comment
Adam_T Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Oh definitely. I don't want an AIO tank. I use those for nanos and nanos alone, haha. Link to comment
Asureef Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Deep blue makes a nice 80g, if you're into shallows. Link to comment
Cameron6796 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 ^^^^ the rimless one? Link to comment
Adam_T Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 Does it have a decent overflow setup? Deep blue makes a nice 80g, if you're into shallows. Link to comment
