    Hey everyone! We are considering buying a red sea 66 gallon tank brand new for 1200! Is this a good deal? Do you like this tank? Would YOU do it? Pros/cons? Thanks! :)

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    They are AIO so to speak. Does that include the stand?
    The stock lighting is PC right?
    I have not had one, I like the way they look, sleak, but doing modifications like upgrading the lighting or placement of a better skimmer might be more difficult.
    If you like them and are not going for a totally dominate sps system in the future I say go for it.

    Ya neither of us really care for sps :) it incuded the stand and it is a 6 bulb t5 light! I think its worth it, and it will be a great display tank for the living room! ;) i hear the equpiment is very good, and it looks nice so my parents like it! :0

    From what I have seen, there wouldn't be any need to upgrade anything at all IMO unless you wanted to go LED eventually. It is already designed for SPS in mind, so I don't really think you would need to that though.

    Yup it all sounds good! :) haha i like the white tank and stand that match! :) how good is the protein skimmer? And do you guys think it would be suitable for a tang? We are thinking a kole or bristletooth
