Advise Wanted - Buying A New Marine Complete Set-up

[chillychrisy]

Dear All,
Just new here. I've kept tropical fish in the past and now want to get started with marines.
I'd like to buy a new "off-the-shelf" complete set-up and I'm looking for advise on what to buy.
I'd like a 4' (or possibly 5' tank) with all equipment built in on a good quality mahogany cabinet (must fit in with the rest of the room decor)
At the moment, I'm thinking of a Jewel Vision 260 but the wood looks a little cheap (varnished MDF ?) and I'm not sure it's really designed for marine.
I'd like to spend around £1,000 but can stretch to a little more if needed
Advise greatly appreciated......
Many Thanks

Since you're listing prices in GBP I'll assume you live in the UK. If so and you really want a good quality all-in-one setup that can handle a reef, consider the Aquamedic Percula line of tanks. Not sure if they'll fit with your decor but they are well equipped. If you're only looking to get a Fish Only tank, and you're more concerned about decor, consider hiring someone to build you a cabinet and buying a standard tank.
