New Tank Recommendation

[PharmrJohn]

So. I've decided against rebooting my old glass 90 (48x18x24). It would require a CPR. I'm not interested in experiencing any negative outcomes secondary to such. So predrilled it is. Among my main concerns is quality. Also, I don't know whether to go with glass or acrylic. I'm leaning towards glass, as I don't want to take a chance on cracking or crazing. I understand the chances are minimal, but it would suck if it happened. So back to quality. I see some PD options as low as $900. I'm willing to spend more if necessary. I'm BIG in doing it right the first time. Something my old man taught me and something I've shared with my kids. I have an ugly stand that is functional, but want to maximize space underneath. So perhaps some recommendations on a stand as well. I want to put a 40G fuge below. Was running a 20G long. TIA.

Thicker is better so I would error on that side for starters

This is REALLY nice! And the price is great! Too bad I'm a fee months away from getting going. I have to get rid of my wood flooring and have tile put down. Once that's done, I'm good to go. The sump/fuge is a little small for my taste. I am looking to replace my DIY 20G long with a 40G breeder. And an overflow separate from that if possible.

Here's another question.....What if my return pump goes bad in a predrilled tank? I really don't know how the predrilled gravity feed works. I envision 90 gallons of saltwater flowing into the sump and then all over the floor. That HAS TO HAVE BEEN thought out. I just don't know the mechanics behind it all.

If you want a nice complete system look at Inovative Marine. They have many to choose from.
I have an ext 170 and am getting an ext 50 as a frag system. Alot of tank for the money.
