They make quality tanks. You can always try looking in the feedback forums to read what other users have posted about their tanks.

Perfecto is good. Most perfecto tanks (even some 10gal ones) are fully tempered though (bad for drillability, good for durability, pick your poison )

I have a 125 Perfecto tank. The bottom is tempered the sides are not. The traditional overflow boxes are out of the question unless you get a pre-drilled tank. I installed my intakes in the back wall. You can click on my red house to see how I did this.

Also my tank (not sure about the one you're looking at) only came with a 2x50W light strip at the top. There is no hood, I'm not sure you could upgrade the lights and still sit them directly on the tank. You'd have to check on that if you want to keep coral.

Yeah I've never had a problem with their tanks either.
