Setting up a new 100 gal, whose system will you choose?

[jackintheboxfish]

Yeah, only choose Waterbox if you want to order it now, but are planning to have it set up early 2027.

I chose Other because I’m honestly very interested in trying out the Neptunian Cube tanks that BRS recently announced carrying. I like the 1” overflow design.

So on the Waterbox website it says
“Standard Lead Time: 4-6 Weeks*”
Which I assumed they’d ship after that. Is this not people’s experience?

The IM 100 seems to be the best bargain going right now, IM raised there prices but the IM 100 stayed the same price so it is even better now.

Yes it is a good deal except it takes them 4-6 months to ship their tank now...

I voted IM.
I have 3 ext's, 170, 112, 50.
The 112 36×36 is a nice system.
I would opt for it over the 100. If you need 4' go with the 150, 48×36.

I actually decided on Nyos Opus 440 slim line last month. The hidden overflow + transparent silicone and mostly good Reviews sold it for me.

I would except the wait is so long and patience is not my strong suit

Just took a look. The tank looks so slick with that hidden overflow!

Lots of solid ones in that list. I do like my Eshopps 70g and my Waterbox nano tank.

IM 170 EXT with aluminum stand is next on my list. I love the look of them with the euro bracing, build quality and their aluminum stand.

I was thinking custom tank when I voted. How many of these options offer a custom size? I have a tank, 90 gallons, built into cabinets in my living room. It's acrylic and a giant pain in the butt to clean. I want to replace it with a glass tank so I'm going to be looking at ordering a new tank in the near future. Any suggestions? I've been communicating with Glasscages but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

I pick IM because IM has more options of how you want the overflow setup and also eurobrace as well and they have deep looking tanks as well compare to the others. If I had space and the money I'll get the 150EXT I like how it looks.

Those are options that Glasscages offers also plus low iron glass on whatever surface you might want. Just curious who has better prices/quality.
