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......

I really like Waterbox aquariums. Currently 15% off and usually ga great Black Friday deals.

I heard that they changed the stands now and many people dislike them now
 
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.
 
Know its late, but I am looking at IM SR80.
I just spent the extra money and went to glass cages, def expensive but I got exactly what I wanted and stress free mind knowing failures and cheap construction won't be a problem long term.
