JBJ 45 Gallon RL Rimless Cube Aquarium

[B1N4RY]

Hello everyone. I'm getting back into the hobby after a brief hiatus and I have my eyes set on the JBJ 45 Gallon RL Rimless Cube Aquarium as my next project. I live in a small apartment so space is critical and I don't want to have to go beyond the aquariums footprint in order to have additional equipment attached. I'm curious to know if anyone knows what the measurements are for the rear compartments behind the false wall. This will help me determine if I can get the equipment I want to purchase to fit inside the aquarium. Thank you in advance for the assistance.

I have the JBJ 28. I would tell you spend the extra cash and get the Red sea max 130 or the 250 for sure. I like the 28 but I think the RSM is worth it.

Why do you feel the Red Sea Max 120 or 250 is a better purchase?

I feel like they RSM are just better tanks the way there are designed. Plus everything you will need is included other then maybe a MP-10 or MP-40. Less evap.

What are the design differences that seem better of the top of your head?

Tanks are wider than they are from front to back which is a plus aesthetically in my book, the compartments in the back are bigger, stock skimmer seems better to me. And the stand seems like much more solid construction although I don't actually know if that's accurate. My bro in law has a jbj 29 and a coworker has 34 gal RSM. If I had the chance to buy either used I would pay 100-200 bucks more for the RSM just because it really does seem like a nicer unit.

Thanks for the information. I appreciate it.
