Looking to buy first tank, reef ready preferable. Who has the best deals?

I'm not looking to go super cheap or anything, as I want to do it right, but I'm also not looking to get a mortgage. Trying to find a reef ready 75-90 gallon aquarium with stand. Would like it have to the sump/plumbing already in it, one less thing for me to decipher on how to do. Do certain companies have better deals than others? Companies to stay away from? Any suggestions are appreciated! I've been looking at waterbox, redsea, innovative marine. So many options, head is spinning a bit.

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

Many suggest avoiding RedSea, do a search for “RedSea Tank Failure” and decide for yourself. I think Waterbox and Innovative Marine would be top choices. Good luck!

I’ve heard good things about Waterbox. I have had two Innovative Marine tanks and they come with everything except the light and a skimmer for a reasonable price. I went with the IM 170 gallon because it had the dimensions I liked with an External overflow.

As FishFan has suggested, you may want to scratch Red Sea tanks from your list. They have had a history of seam failures, so buyer beware.
