splix Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 I decided to move to an AIO style tank for various reasons. At first I thought about Innovative Marine, but by the time you piece all those together, you're already at the same price as a red sea system, so thats where I went. I decided on the Red Sea Max E-260, 70 gallon (including rear). Here is my build process for anyone interested in these. My expectations for this tank, mainly for the red sea tank reputation were met, plus some. These tanks are incredible in both design and quality. They seem pricey at first when you're looking at them online for the price and size, but they are such high quality that I believe them to be very well priced for what you get. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a nice tank. If you're in your 30's and not already a professional furniture builder, you're not doing it right (or your rich) haha. Getting there The cleanest it will ever be. Long way to go still Hey come here and hold this. Some rock moved over, mostly aquascaped. Now to start on all the electrical and Apex, ATO, misc electrical setup. Currently just running off a single power strip. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the innovative marine rimless clips and 1/4" clear net from brs now. I just need to get to lowes and get the screen top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
