Which new tank to go for?

[J.Orchin]

Hi everyone,

I’m planning on upgrading my Fluval flex 123l and just can’t decide on a Red Sea reefer G2 250, Neptunian Cube m pro 90 or a Nyos Opus 300. I’d have loved to go bigger but don’t have the space.

I’d love to know your thoughts on these tanks.

Thank you
Jo

Have you read about all the problems with Red Sea seams coming apart ? I wouldn't chance it myself . We went with Innovative Marine

Yes but I thought that was the old style Red Sea that had the problems? I think they have upgraded the silicone used in the newest ones. I’ll check out innovative marine as I haven’t seen them. Thank you

I have been nothing but pleased with a red sea reef for 200 as my first tank. Bought all red sea components, and it’s really streamlined through the app.

Red Sea G2’s have a reinforced front seam on them to try and help mitigate the seam issues they’ve had in the past. I’ve seen both of these in person and the front seem on the G2 is noticeably thicker than the G1

I have a g2 300 going on 2 years. I just broke down a g1 170 because of a failing seam. My newest tank I went with water box. I will not buy another readsea tank.
