JohnD Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Hi members, and hello from Norway! Almost 30 years ago I made a marine aquarium - and had it about 7 years before house building, children and economy made it to difficult to continue. Now I’m planning to start up again – and it’s easy to recognize that equipment and methods have evolved significantly since 1990! I have a wonderful wife, but she not very keen on having a large tank in our living room, so I have to be a bit wary about the size of the aquarium – and the esthetics of the system is important. I have narrowed my list down to three alternatives: Aqua Medic Cubicus Cube CF Aqua Medic Xenia 65 Red Sea Reefer 170 I have some problems by choosing between these systems. Anyone here who has any experience with these tanks? Pros and cons? Any advice is most appreciated! Regards John Quote Link to comment
Clown79 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I Don't have either but red sea has an excellent reputation and the tanks are gorgeous. 2 Quote Link to comment
burtbollinger Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Red Sea 170 is the VERY EASY choice here. Was in your same situation....picky wife/living room. each tank you are considering is very pretty, but the Reefer has the best design (IMO) and the most proven track record vs the other tanks on a worldwide scale. Go for the Reefer with the white stand and don't look back. Not a day goes by I don't marvel at its looks and its build quality. 2 Quote Link to comment
Big E reef Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 +1 for the red sea Quote Link to comment
squamptonbc Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I have the red sea reefer 170 with black stand and I really like it, worth every penny. I'll add I got the reefer 170 deluxe that comes with AI Hydra 26 HD lighting and I am happy with the light as well. I was wary of Red Sea because of the price, but man I am glad caved and got it.
