Hello everyone,
I'm considering upgrading from my BC 29 to either a 75 gallon custom or Red Sea Max 250. My LFS has stated they can work with me to build a custom 75 gallon setup for close to the same price as the RSM 250 ($1550). I have a lot of comfort and success with the all in one systems, however, and know I can get the RSM 250 growing SPS like I currently have in my BC 29. My concern is if I go the custom route with my LFS, the price may easily go beyond my budget of $1550 due to the huge variations in price/quality of all the components that will go into the build. I just don't have the experience to know which components will work best and are the best value for their performance. At this point, I'm tempted to just go for the RSM 250 and be done with it.
Just curious what others might do in this situation. Thanks!
Mike
