I do think it is a neat and beautiful aquarium though.

I'm confused? I've been reef keeping for 20 years now and have had numerous tanks with and with out overflows.

I've kept successful reef tanks with canister filters & with sumps? Why should this be classed as not reef ready because it doesn't have an overflow or because it's not drilled?

Where dose it say that a tank has to have and overflow or sump to be a reef tank or reef ready? Can someone explain

I use the term reef ready "loosely" as a term for the tank has been cycled, has been running successfully for a year and has been seeded with the beneficial organisms that a reef requires. the purchaser simply has to take the tank home and it's a ready made reef......

Thanks for your input.

I really like this reef tank setup that you built, and your specimans look great!! It would look pretty cool on a ledge.

*sigh*......its just a general term used on this and all forums when you say "reef ready" it means drilled with overflow, dosent matter that you can keep a reef with a canister filter (AS I HAVE ONE) it means what it means, that tank my friend is NOT reef ready.....

Just goes to show...
even after 20 years in the hobby, you still can't know it all.
Goodness knows I barely know a thing after 7.

Even tank manufacturers refer to drilled aquariums as Reef Ready or RR...

Your tank may be a reef, though without live rock it's an old school one but without being drilled for overflow, is not reef ready.

just semantics really.

Whatever happened to letting someone sell their stuff in peace?

He clearly states what he is selling, the price he is looking for and includes clear pictures. It's not like he is trying to deceive someone with the words reef ready. I think he was just stating "selling complete" hence the "even have containers for transport!"

Good luck with your sale SimplyCoral!

Amen to that. It is posted in the buy/sell guidelines to boot.
