Real world experience with innovative marines 112 and 150 int lagoon tanks

redwhiteandblue · 06/23/2019, 07:39 AM

Hello, I’m back from the dead. After a few years of being reefless, I am once again planning my future build. Originally I had plans to build a planet aquarium peninsula tank 60”x36”x 20” eurobrace. This cost was going to be in the ball park of $2,800 for the tank only. The stand is not an issue as I can build a nice one regardless of size. However, being out of the hobby for a few years, the progression is outstanding. So many new toys to read about! Including the new innovative marine lagoon tanks! The 112 is 36x36x20 and $1,300. This is less than half of what I planned to build. It has my eyebrows raised and I really like the design. Seeking real world experience from owners with this tank style/ overflow combo.
1. The wall to wall overflow across the back is my biggest concern. Powerhead mounting, access, etc
2. They offer an aluminum stand which seems ok at best for the cost, seems like it might be touch to mount things on the inside.

Any input in these systems?

No experience with the lagoon tanks, but you may want to check SC Aquariums as well. I have a SC Aquarium eurobraced 150 (no stand) that I got for about $800 on sale a couple years ago.

Good customer service, and they'll make about anything on custom order.

Thanks for the suggestion. Do they offer a tank with same dimensions? I’m mainly interested in these innovative tanks due to the 36” depth.
