Mancuarist Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Greets all, looking for some guidance. This will be my first saltwater aquarium, I have a small freshwater one. I'm not going to rush it, still learning.🧐 It will be a mixed reef tank. Starting my shopping list - I guess a tank should be at the top right? Looking at 4 models. I know there may be better options than these but it's a matter of cost. I'm in the UK. Waterbox Marine 45.2 TMC Reef Habitat 60 Aqua One ReefSys 180 Aquarium Systems L'Aquarium 2.0 250 Would love to hear thoughts on recommended kit and things to avoid. Thanks all🍻 Quote Link to comment
snostorm Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 not familiar with the other systems but hear good things about Waterbox Aquariums. Have you looked at Red Sea offerings? Im far from an expert...all i can say is research, go slow and dont skimp on equipment you will eventually wind up spending for the higher end stuff in the end., I have done this numerous times. Good luck and keep us posted! Quote Link to comment

I must say I'm leaning to the Waterbox. Quote Link to comment
