Carlagracie Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 For the past week my wife and I have been looking into getting back into the hobby. We had a bio cube about 3 or so years ago and loved it. We ended up moving and instead of bringing it with us we just sold it. We are suppose to go to the LFS today to get a 90 gallon complete setup minus the stand and canopy because we already have that. Then I came across the RSM 65 gallon setup and we are absolutely loving it!! My question is with the bio cube I did a couple upgrades like pump and in-tank media basket. Will the RSM need any upgrades or is it pretty much good to go? we love the all in one thing so we are really considering this right now. Any pros and cons is welcome. Thank you all so much!! P.S more specific the Red Sea MAX C-Series 250 Plug & Play Coral Reef System 65 Gallon Aquarium w/ Stand Link to comment

It does have one if I'm correct? I'd say you're good to go with just that. Does it include a protein skimmer? But It does look like a good functional tank to me! Eventually you will have a very beauitful reef with that tank. Probably easy matinence too. But I don't have the tank and you've been in the hobby longer than me. These are just my opinions Link to comment
atrox Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Save some money buy this! http://www.scaquariums.com/aquarium-systems/50-gallon-starfire-pnp-system-10.html All in one tanks imo are great at 20 gallons and smaller, but larger tanks reallt need a sump for all the additional equipment. The sc aquarium line is great and the pricing for what is included makes it an easy choice. Link to comment

joy13 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 The RSM is a beautiful tank I have seen them up and running. I can think of a few things that I personally would change. I would get different lighting and skimmer those seem to be the most expensive things to replace on any tank. The tanks I have seen is all t5 I like leds better since they don't need to be replaced.
