Hey all, wanting to setup a 75-80 gallon tank. Can anyone recommend a good setup to purchase with a SUITABLE stand lol, im not a diy person and im scared to build one myself. I just want a sturdy and built to last tank and stand. So anyone with years of experience with said tank , no leaks or warping etc would be greatly appreciated. Doesn't have to be a combo deal, I can purchase them separately. People recommended IM tanks but they all come AIO or drilled for sumps which i hate using......

Innovative Marine is great, and I may be one of the few but I like Red Sea. Their Gen 3 swapped out their diaphragm valve for gate valves, which makes them even more appealing.
