beani Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Hi guys, Toying with the idea of getting a small marine tank. Looking at the Red Sea 130D. Does anyone have any experience with these or can recommend another 150 ish litre tank. Would need a small chiller I'm guessing too Any advice appreciated. Thanks Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liquidg Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Two of our guys use red sea all in one systems,one of them is the one you are looking at and from what i am told its all good. The last one of the two red sea tanks was a purchase from pet city of a Red Sea Max S-650,he is very happy with it. For those that do not want to make much in the way of their own tank,lighting or bio filter,the red sea are are a well made mechanicle filtered all in one aquarium and yes it is a waste of time to efffectively try to keep a marine aquarium at a high level and have it flourish with out a chiller. Just be aware that with any bio filter of this style,they have weak to quite bad pre filtering,whether it be by a sock or sponge and will enable the filter media to become blocked over time. If you are aware and put the work in this is not much if any issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadFishFloating Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Before you take the plunge on the redsea130...... I'd say hold off for a few days and keep an eye on The Age Of Aquariums - Browns Plains, Australia - Pet Service | Facebook AOA has awesome approx 100L setups coming in Aquatic Style Nano Marine no pictures of a black one to show you as someone, ahem, sold the sole display model. but heres some I borrowed But they are stunning, easy to work with and capable. Definitely a viable option and a setup I felt like hugging everytime I walked past it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know pretty is not usually the most important attribute of a dry marine system but dam, it certainly doesnt hurt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
