34g All in one tanks - has anyone tried these?

[chrisstie]

I was wondering if anyone has any hands on experience and opinons on the new Red Sea Max 34g all in one set up - What do you like, dislike, would\have modded to make it better?

Also if you have experience with the cadlights model or anything else this size please let me know how you feel.

Our 12g Aquapod may be doomed for a slightly larger upgrade as the Red Sea's looks alone make it nice not to mention the built in stuff with a skimmer and the extra room I could have for something else- AND Kevin is actually interested in it (i think he likes an all in one price tag better than what it'll take to setup the 125g sooner rather than later

Right now I'm searching RC and the nano forums but have seen these tanks in a few local shops so really would love to hear from you guys

things I've seen so far... misleading advertising... has pc lights but they are t-5 diameter... no moon lights...has space for a 1.5" fan for added cooling but have to contact red sea to get it (not available thru distributors or retailers.... just observations... no practical experience with it yet....

the one I saw has PC lights yes, but it does have 2 LED moonlights. It also had a fan in it. It's glass which is pretty nice. I like the tank, but would rather have something bigger.

I will have to do some more reading. Theres a cadlights one that is similarly priced that comes with a fuge but not skimmer that has MH lighting- not sure if theres a stand it would look good on the way the Red Sea does

I've heard despite the lights (which on some labels on the thing are called "T5 PCs" its weird- I could live with that as long as they are enough to keep some decent stuff in a tank that deep

Although having more lighting would be awesome in something like the cadlights but it isnt 'all inclusive' the way the redsea is with just 1 power cord.

Grrr decisions decisions

I also read how the newer shipments are coming with the proper fan upgrade- but the fans are noisy so people are replacing them still.
