Need help deciding which tank to go with.
Great deal available on a SR60, but I don’t want to regret not getting a 48” long.

Sr80, only new available and probably 2 month wait.

Tideline 62 not as wide as I’d like, between glass and aio baffle is 12 or 14”? Don’t want to regret not going with something wider.

Downsizing from a 180 because of cost & maintenance. Was gonna go with a 25-40g now I’m here 🤣
Help me out pls
 
it's hard for me to tell from your post… Are you trying to save money or decide between those three tanks?

If you're trying to save money, it sounds like you want a 50 breeder. Not quite the 48 inch length you're looking for but 18 x 18 thickness is nice for a reef tank.

I've heard that either Petco or PetSmart (Wanapum) has a 60 gallon breeder that's 4 feet long. Something new! Check your local store.
