Waffen06 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 So I have been looking for a used setup for a couple weeks. Thought I wanted to go with a smaller AIO but wasnt finding much and didnt want to be limited by space. Also dont want to go to big, had a 75 and it was a bit much and wife wanted to downsize. So Ive found two setups I like, would appreciate a vote on which you like plus any insights or opinions. Thanks!Option 1: Redsea 170 34 gallon with stand and sump, less then a year old, all the base equipment plus an AI 26HD, about 20 lbs of rock, has a blood shrimp, coral beauty, reg clown, gladiator clown, yellow spotted goby. No corals or skimmer. Theres some extra stuff, power head, test equipment. Asking $500Option 2: 60 Gallon cube, stand and sump. Kessil 360, about 70 lbs of rock, simple corals like zoas and mushrooms. Has 2 clowns, starry blenny, purple wrasse. Also has an rodi unit, skimmer, couple wavemakers, test equipment, etc. Asking $600Option 3: keep looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waffen06 Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 Not familiar with Kessil that enough for that tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They cover a 24”x24” well. I’m thinking a 60 cube would be 30x30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 So just looked it up. 60 cube would be 24x24. So would be more than enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aap15 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Option 2 would be my pick if I was choosing between those two options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waffen06 Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 Top one is the 60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 They are both good looking tanks. But 60gallons is a lot easier than 34. Just my opinion. Plus more space for more livestock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AspiringLobophyllia Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I’d go the 60 too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I have to agree with the 60. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muttley000 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 The 60 appears a better choice to me also if it fits the space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff70 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 60 more water volume Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I would either go with the 60 or keep looking for a longer tank. Only reason I say that is because With my 40breeder I have 3x the space my 32gal biocube had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waffen06 Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 Cant go any longer space I have for a tank is only about 26" wide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Then I'd definitely go with the 60, you wont regret the extra water volume! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kcfitz78 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I like the 60 but a little more difficult to reach the bottom if 30 inches or taller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crimsonvice Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 60 would be my vote too. Had a tank similar in size once and would do it again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waffen06 Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 The 60 agreed at $500, had a Kessil controller, said the whole setup is 3 years old, light is a year old AspiringLobophyllia and Joe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
