Hello.
I am going to buy one of the two tanks above for a reef tank. Am tossed between the sca 50g or reefer 34g. The reefer fits my small space well. (Plus maybe easier on lighting choice). T5 Ati sunpower 24 inch 4x24 watt.
1. Is the 24 gallon difference a deciding factor between the 2 tanks. Ie will i regret not having the extra 24 gal with the sca tank.
->Reefer 34g tank and 9g sump = 43 gal total volume.
-> Sca 50g pnp is 50g plus 17g sump = total volume of 67gal.
2. I dont want led. Ati t5 is my choice. Im assuming this would be better suited to the 20inch height of the reefer as apposed to the 24inch height of the sca tank.
The sca works out 300 to 400 cheaper than the reefer overall since its on sale on the sca website but the reefer seems to be the better option. Im def leaning towards the reefer. (Though spoke to sca and then seem very helpful in all aspects i must say).
Any thoughts would be most helpful.
