Hello
I am moving and am going to start a new system. If you had to choose between these two systems which would you choose. Open to suggestions of their systems that size.

I would choose the euro braced waterbox because I've seen bowing in tanks that length that are rimless. I don't like the large internal overflows, but the waterbox states theirs are glass. I keep my back wall clean and acrylic boxes makes it hard to scrape coralline without scratching the acrylic. The thing I don't like is the filter sock set up. I'd look into the possibility of incorporating a roller mat.

I actually have a trigger platinum 39 sump that is on my tank now that I am hoping to incorporate into the system

The reefer 1000s does have Aluminum frame fortifying the glass. Not sure if its equal to or better than euro bracing.

I stand corrected on the Rea Sea. These newest big tanks are now euro braced. From a reef builders article:

However the two big-ticket changes to the new S line of Red Sea Reefer tanks are certain to be the new ‘euro-braced’ glass design to accommodate the larger size, and the metal-framed aluminum stands.
