180 gallon RR tank recommendations
I am looking for a 180 g RR tank. I had found a heckuva deal on a 225g (72x30x24) which I snatched up. Unfortunately, it is really too big for the room I want to set the tank up in.
I think a 180 which would be 6" narrower would fit the bill. I think I would prefer an AGA as I have not had a great deal of luck with not scratching my acrylics in the past. Any thoughts on the best manufacturer or place to buy such an animal? |

Scroll down for the 180. OOPS! Sorry those are not RR. Gl*******s.com can remedy that though and save you a bundle.

I see a lot ogf negatives about GlassCages.com...has that been remedied in the recent past. Price is right and they are relatively close but they worry me a bit.

That was glass holes not glass cages.
Drill it yourself.

The 180 AGA has the built-in overflows away from the sides. This leaves a space that can get low flow. I like the Perfecto/Marineland 180 better, where the overflows are at the corner. They also use black silicone, which I like better than the white/clear silicone that AGA seems to prefer.
If you are handy and have the time, drilling a non-RR and installing a C2C overflow I think would be cool.
