Hello all,

I'm considering a new tank, been hapopy with a nano for over a year now, but some of the tanks i'm now looking at are a bit bigger, so i though this would be the forum to ask; has anybody had any experience with these? ;

I want a modern looking tank, and these caught my eye.
Cheers

It look ok but does'nt say if there are skimmer included etc whereas this one has everything the Red Sea Max.

Hiya Smarttony.

Yeah, I'm fairly sure it'll be short on equipment, but i was balancing up the £350 for tank, plus skimmer ect, against the £500 for a red sea max (thats the BARGAIN price a shop near me has one for sale for)
The red sea max really is the nicest, but also the priciest, maybe I should wait a few months, sell some stuff on ebay and treat myself. Though wether they'll still be selling them for that price or not i dont know.
Cheers for the reply
John

They're pricey but look in ebay. Should get one in excellent condition like these one.

Sweet,
There was a stunning one went on ebay a few days ago, huge spec, loads of livestock / rock / coral plus all sorts of accesories, ended up going for £360!!!! complete bargain.
I want a modern looking tank, so its going to be a toss up between one of those, or an orca 550, as the volume is very similar, but I do think the red sea JUST wins out on neat looks.
Cheers Tony
By the way, major sad on () I lost one of my beloved Newcastle clowns a few weeks ago after a house move, he developed finrot, and after trying to treat for a week, he didn't make it. Really gutted, what lovely fish they are, the female is still going strong, but I wanted to ask if you think they are happier in pairs? As if they are, replacing the one I lost will be top priority.
John

Sorry to hear you lost your clown. They're happier in pair. Just get a smaller one to replace the male. My pair are doing well now they're 2 years old and in mate's 5ft tank. Good luck which ever tank you get.
