Upgrading from BC14 to ??
Hello
I've had my BC14 now for about five months and have been blessed by how smoothly everything has gone. I of course now would like to have more space, corals, and fish. Last weekend I went to my LFS and bought a Oceanic illuminata reef ready tank with a stand. I was very excited with the new tank until I got home unpacked it and noticed that all four outside seams had air-bubbles in the silicone. I called the LFS and they said bring it back in a week when they receive more to swap it out. I went back yesterday to make the exchange and this time I tore off the cardboard to inspect the tank before leaving and it was the same story. We then checked two more with the same results. I guess Oceanic doesn't have a quality control department. So they had a ADA 90p sitting up on the shelf which I liked but didn't like the idea of having to drill it for an overflow box and sump option. The LFS informed me they make a 90p that comes with an overflow from the factory that he could order for me. Now I've searched and searched for 90p threads and pics and haven't found much of anything. Mostly planted fresh water tanks, but no marine builds with this tank and none with the overflow. Does anyone have any experience with this tank? It will cost me about 200 more dollars and I want to be 100% sure it would be great for a saltwater build. Thanks in advance to anyone that takes the time to read all of this and respond! |

I don't have experience with that tank but if you want to upgrade look at the Red Sea Max 250 its a 65 gallon.Looking into that tank myself. But It is a little pricey....
