Hello all,
Im setting up my first coral tank this christmas and need some help.
Im only keeping a pair of clowns and various corals (undecided on specifics).
Ive always had FOWLR tanks but I think Im ready for the next step.
Are there any major differences between the JBJ and Fluval? This biggest con I see of the JBJ is the cost due to having to buy everything separately. The tank alone is $250-$300. Then add on the cost of a stand, lights, proper media and filtration, etc.
My LFS has the complete Fluval set up (stand included, LED lights, protein skimmer, power head, and a few other things) for $500.
Im not trying to skimp out, just looking for the best deal.
