Hey Everyone! I am starting to get together a list of equipment for a new build I'm going to take on. I am building a through wall display tank. It will be 72" to 84" wide, 24" to 30" deep and tall.
I've had both acrylic and glass tanks in the past but never done anything larger than a 90 gallon so I want advice on which way to go. It's going to be middle of the road as far as quality. I'd love a Reef Saavy tank but $4000 for the tank alone is just too much. I am also not sold on the Aqueon and Marineland tanks. We will be using a Synergy Reef 16" Shadow overflow so the tank will be drilled for that and dual Vivid Creative Aquatics Random Flow Generator return nozzles. We are going to build a custom steel or aluminum stand for the tank since it will have it's own room to house the equipment it just needs to be open and sturdy.
Which material would be better in your opinion... Arcylic or Glass.
What manufacturer should we take a look at to get something reasonably priced but still not apt to fail anytime soon?
