Both of these tanks are "coming soon" on the Red Sea website. They are both 71" wide, but the 750 is 160g and the 850 is 180g. It looks like the differences include different stand design, different sumps, rimless vs black bracing, etc. Are the differences worth the $1600 price difference?

What are your thoughts?

I also wanted to know what the difference between two of the others is, maybe this thread will help.
The two I’m wondering at the two 5’ tanks - The 525 G2 and 625 G2. So far what I know is some of the dimensions may be a few cm/inches different and some of the glass is possibly thicker.

From what I can tell the S is eurobraced which On a larger tank would be nice. Im in the same boat trying to decide which I want but can justify they S vs the 750. For a better stand, eurobrace, and expandable sump design. Think I’m still leaning toward the 750

I'm trying to see if the difference is worth it. I like the eurobrace, the expandable sump, the controller wall that pulls out. The better stand is a plus. My thought process is can I put $1600 into the 750 G2 and not have regrets?

I had the same question except with the 900 vs the 850 because the 850 is more than the 900 but the 900 also isnt a reefer s or a g2. Any insight on what any of you all would choose as like right now you can get a 900 for like 4800(Onsale ATM) vs the 850 is like 5999

The S is also a few inches wider. Stand, size, and euro brace probably account for almost all of that difference.

I just got the 850S the eurobrace and the stand sold me on it. Just started a build thread...

I really wanted the stand but it was somewhat a pain to put together, but worth it in the end.
