IM 100 or 75
Realistically: What tank would you get right now if you get a new one?

The whole short story was this tank was made special order for another customer. I’m not certain how much control the mfgr had with the specs that were used to build it?
So throwing them underneath the bus in public when many others have experience much better results with more standard Stock build items doesn’t seem fair. The picture serves as a fair warning for folks in any market on what to be wary about.

I now have a 60g, but would like to have a 75g that isn't quite so tall.....

Ditto!!
I wouldn't mind having a new tank. I have a 90 gallon tank with a 30 gallon sump. I got the tanks used and the 90 gallon has a bunch of scratches in it. So anything would be nice but I'd hope to not downsize if I was to get another tank.

I just set up an Aqueon 120 gallon tank, I had it drilled for the large Eshopps overflow system , I have 3, 1 inch drains ,2. 1 inch return lines set up in each corner of the back of the tank , currently have an Eshopps EDC reef sump 300 model , on this I’m sorry I didn’t get the ADV model . The sump that I have doesn’t have any probe holders or dosing tube setup. Oh well . I’m using a Red Sea Skimmer model 300 , the return pump is a Seltz Hydor rated to 3200 gph. I have 2 Gyre Pumps 2k model & 4 k , these are situated on the back wall , for lighting I have 2 AI 32 HD ‘s , i would like to go full out SPS however I may need 2 more of the 32HD’s ??? Any thoughts on that ??

No chance on an upgrade for me in the near future but having gone from a 65g to 110g about 2 years ago I like to tell folks before you settle for an off the shelf AIO system like Red Sea or Waterbox do some research and consider all the upgrades you might want to do with them... Once you do that get a few custom quotes for exactly what you want. You might be surprised as I was and get that custom dream tank instead.

Belay my last! Just saw the CADE reef tank. Yes, I would get the 1800 S2, and I may.....

So many pedestrians so little time
I moved into a 90 in jan. Im helping set up a 180. The cost of going bigger is enormous. Lights , sand, rock, wave makers, skimmer and such. No think you im out growing my 90 but im going to stick with it.

I've got a 300DD right now (72 x 36 x 27"H) but it would be pretty awesome to have an 8' tank. Ideal dimensions would be 96 x 48 x 28"H. The problem is that I can't physically fit any tank larger than the 300 down my stairs or I would have already done it. Gonna mean either building out of plywood, moving into a different house, or sticking with the 300. I'm sure that if I had an 8' tank I'd want a 10' tank so maybe going bigger isn't such a great idea. :0)
I would not buy red sea or waterbox type tanks. They are way over priced and quality does NOT meet the asking price. I would go custom. custom tanks plus

Ilooking in the near future to replace current system which I bought second hand off craigslist full or rock, fish, some corals @ 220 display ns 44 gallon sump tank. Hard plumbed, went full Triton Method from start, Apex, trident, dos ..., kessils and more Hate the height of sump area and plan is to move to a peninsula system with a remote filter room. Still researching but probably same size or slightly less

Unrealistically I’d say see @Hedgedrew66 haha. I’m constrained for now by size, currently. Perhaps in the future a nice long (8’-9’). But shallow like lagoon shallow...
