Red Sea Max 130D - Cheapest Place to buy in Calgary?

[swenthusiast]

Thanks guys!

What are your opinions on JBJ vs Nuvo vs RSM? Which one is best for lighting, quality and more importantly, the quitest?

After researching RSM I see that they released the C series this year.. Is the C-130 a huge improvement over the 130-D?

Given the fact that the C-130 just came out I guess my chances of finding used are minimal at best.. So I'll probably look at buying new if I decide to go with the RSM C series.. $$$

Unfortunately I will be working on Boxing Day this year so I won't have the luxury (or misfortune in this cold!) to line up outside a LFS to get a tank. Has anyone ever bought a tank of this size online or would a physical pickup at a LFS be the best deal?

If you swing by concept aquariums and talk to me (Denny) I can design you a red sea style tank with much better equipment , more automation and better function for a fraction of the new redsea tanks price tag .

You can design each aspect And you won't need to upgrade the equipment or have to add equipment .

Shoot me an email if you wish at denny@conceptaquariums.ca or swing by the shop (were in ne Calgary)


Cheers

Just as posted above, you may want to go custom, even if its not cheaper, its usually worth it. If your still wanting a pre made I would go to Pisces, usually good deals and can get anything if its not there

I bought my Red Sea max 130D used from a guy in town. It was about 6 months old, and in good shape.
I liked it because it was my first tank and I didn't want to dive into having a sump and all that, when I was first learning.
I've replaced the lights with a DIY fixture, and the skimmer with a tunze 9001.

total ive spent on my setup (tank, lights, skimmer) is ~900$

New Red Sea Reefer system. I like that they don't include lights, skimmer and return pump. Probably not going to be the cheapest option but it's nice enough to put in any room for all to see. I was going to have a custom stand built for my current system but it was quoted at $1200 for a 54" stand. Once I get more details, I am going to decide between a Red Sea Reefer and a CAD Lights Artisan II.
