I want an all in one, whats out there?
Looking for a coral and invert QT tank that I can proudly display in the entrance of my home. I don't want to have to make anything custom or spend a fortune but it has to look sharp and be reliable.
Right now I am looking at an SCA 50g or a Red Sea max 130. What else is out there no bigger than a 24x24 that comes complete with stand, lighting, and decent filtration? Ideally I want a hood so I am leaning towards the red sea. I don't want open top or have to buy lighting that is going to bleed all over the living room.

The company that built my 233 has recently started a line of all-in-ones. They are Oceans By Design
They haven't listed them on their website yet, but saw this posting on reeffrontiers.com http://www.reeffrontiers.com/threads...-Aquarium-line

I like the finish on the stands! Very simple. For a house that was built in 79 this home is pretty modern so that would fit well. Just wish they had fitted hoods. Maybe I should get a kessil and hang it if I chose a system that doesn't have a hood. Having a tunze skimmer is abig plus, I was never a fan of the redsea skimmer.
This recessed area is where I want to put the tank... after I paint

I like the 2015 50g from them. Not so sure about the stock stands. Do you have a link to the uprgrade stand or any lighting options they may have?
I also like the 1.25 drain because this tank needs to be quiet.
