90G Fish Tank Reef Ready?

[32Bit_Fish]

Hi All,

I have seen good deals on used/almost new fish tanks often on this board. But most of them are reef ready.

I'm planning to buy a 90G for my FRESH WATER. So can I use a reef ready tank? Or I am better off buying a regular tank?

I want to keep things simple which means no sump or wet & dry filter. The tank is going to be in my bad room, so it must be very quiet. Would the overflow box in a RR tank makes noise? I may just use a HOB filter or a small canister filter.

Please advise. Thanks

Overflow would still help surface skimmin and allow filter/etc to be in sump as opposed to in/behind tank

I personally would prefer keep it simple with FW, and leave complication for SW

if I were you I will go with a "Regular tank" any ways you mentioned you won't use sump or wet-dry filtration

Thanks guys. Hopefully I can find a good deal on a regular 90G.

it really won't be noisy if you do it right and the sump for fresh water can be simple.

Or your other option is to change the bulk head of the RR tank to a barb adapter one and plug it straight to an eheim.

Or just go non drilled.

I have a 75G not drilled laying somewhere in my parents's garage. If you're interested.

How is the condition ? Any pics?
