I've been in the reef hobby for 6+ years and have finally bought a house that will allow me to build a 180-220 is size tank, but I am unsure of what mfg I should be looking at to go bigger. I've had a 75 gallon acrylic tank for the last 5 years and I am not scared of acrylic by any means but wouldn't mind glass for ease of cleaning. What would you guys recommend? I've been looking at some used tanks in the area but I hate wasting my time knly to find the tanks listed are scratched to heck.

I ordered a 180 gallon planet aquariums mega matrix with an external overflow. I should have it within the next week and will be glad to show pics of the quality when I do get it.

If you can afford it, go Crystal Dynamics aquarium, their tanks and stands are absolutely beautiful. I also love the new Aquaforest Ocean guard tanks
 
I'm a little biased but miracles make amazing tanks, beautiful and built to last. C2C are also great and if you have the budget and patience reef savvy are supposedly second to none
 
Yea, i think reef savvy builds some incredible tanks but that's more than I can swing on a big tank at the moment. I have been looking at glass cages tanks and building my own stand and such as I have enjoyed building out my previous tanks and stands.
