hi all,

am thinking of decomm my current 2x2x2.5(h) tank to save energy and easy maintanance so thinking of getting a smaller tank like 24g or 28g. But confuse dunno which one is more value for money.

Am keeping simple corals and some SPS (ontop) now so thinking to think 50% easy SPS and 50% normal corals for the smaller tank too. Will be getting the Maxspect 110W LED lighting too.

So need advise, dun want later buy already regret.

also pls advice which LFS sell the 28g other than AQ (i think their 28g price is abit high).. also now AQ is having a 24g tank promo with lots of free stuff throwing in like skimmer and live stocks.

thanks :cheers:

Current Tank(s) :

2 x 1 x 1 mixed reef tank

What in my mind now (future tanks)

4 x 2.5 x 1.5 low profile coral tank

3 x 2.5 x 1.5 low profile reef tank

Decommissioned Tanks :

2 ft seahorse tank back in the 1990s'

2.5 ft cube mixed reef tank in 2007 to 2008

JBJ 28g Tank . Maxspect G1 110W + 12W DIY LED . Tunze 9002 Skimmer . Vortech MP10w ES . SPS only Tank . Picasso Clown Fish (2009 to 2011)

the bigger the better :)

yup I know, but not too big la.. cos now my current 2x2x2.5 seem to "big" for my pocket and monthly bill....

the 28g vs 24g only like abit bigger, so it is really worth to get 28g or save the extra money to for buying equipment?

If you are referring to JBJ nano cubes, the main difference between 24g and 28g is that the canopy covers the whole tank in 24g and does not cover the IOS in 28g. As such, the 28g allows you to hang on other equipment to the IOS more easily.
