acidjc Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 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 Quote 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 .

acidjc Posted August 1, 2010 Author Share Posted August 1, 2010 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?

Sponsor dr evil Posted August 2, 2010 Sponsor Share Posted August 2, 2010 why not our Cube 80 nano tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member iskay Posted August 2, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted August 2, 2010 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. Quote "Be formless... shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle; it becomes the bottle. You put it into a teapot; it becomes the teapot. Water can flow, or it can crash.
